Silenced
Its hard to say I love you,
Then have to say goodbye,
Its hard to remember your beautiful smile,
After how much I saw you cry.
Its tough to think of you as weak,
After everything you've been through,
Im glad you came to me.
Your life was perfect,
Or so it seemed,
You hid your secrets from everyone,
But you opened up to me.
He got mad and hit you,
He left you crying,
You couldnt tell your mom,
You just kept lying.
So you ran away,
But asked me to come,
I couldnt stand saying goodbye,
I loved you so much.
You were more than a friend,
A sister I never had,
Hurt, alone, and scared,
I loved you good and bad.
