"I know how it feels to be completely alone and helpless, and the last thing you want to hear in that situation is, 'It's going to be OK. ' The only thing that seems to really help is that someone else who has felt that low expressing those feelings"

Hot tears streak my face
As I remember what we used to be.
Your lies flood my mind
Making it unbearable to think.
You weren't the friends
I thought you were.
So, now my heart rests uneasy,
Keeping me awake at night.
You're always on my mind.
