come in my friend
you're welcome here
you can stay as
long as you like
when you're here
all fear is gone
the pain is out of sight
i'd like to give
my heart to you
but sometimes
it seems impossible

i see you walking down the hall
with your friends
i watch you from a distance
you don't notice
because i'm no one
and you'll never see me

"i can't do this."

she removed her hand from the board to wipe away tears as her head slumped down into her knees. she shook violently, but there was nothing that he could do.

the game was over.

Christmas bells will not be jingling this year
Because blood will be dripping down our wrists

This Christmas
I hope to wake up
In the arms of my Saviour
