Kass

You're so strong- I wish I could have half your conviction. Half your passion. The blood that you draw isn't who you are. Blood is life there's nothing wrong with proving that you're still alive (honesty: I did it too). You found her and held on tight even when the ropes burned your hands- you never let go. I used to wonder if you knew I cared if you knew that we all love you. But I know you do. Now I wonder if you listen- because I can never tell if you've heard me crying for your eyes only. You never knew how strong you are, but you shine in the blackness our angel with the golden hair. I've always been afraid that you would fufill my threats because you made them your own. But you never did, without a word, you helped me throw them aside, because you're stronger than you know, stronger than time, stronger than blood. They turned away, they left you and I couldn't be there to dry your tears, I hated my comfort because it was only words. I hated myself for not being at your side when you needed a friend, I hated myself for seeing both sides, though you knew I did. But you made me stronger, when it was you I wanted to protect, it was you that deserved it- I never did. And when you jumped into the fire I couldn't dive after you- but I would have. Please, in your strength, know that I would. I love you Kass...please don't forget.This was written for a very dear friend of mine...who I'm very afraid for. I'm not really looking for a critique-because it's not written as poetry. It's just typed emotion. I'm not even sure why I'm posting it.
