how can i sit here and let it happen how can i sit here and watch you die
i don't know your pain i can't imagine what you are feeling i would if you'd talk
i'm worried for you you are scaring me here are my shoulders i've ears to listen
will you change your mind please don't be silent please before you choose will you talk to me
what is it you need know that i'm a friend i am here for you please reconsider

This is a heart-rending bit of outreach; I hope that your hand is accepted and perhaps another heart saved.

Like Floria, I do hope your offer of help is accepted.
I made an offer like this to a den poet, some time ago,
and...unfortunately...it wasn't. A great talent has gone.
I will feel the hopelessness of it for some time to come.
Bless you, for caring about other human beings.

Karla, if an understanding heart will help, you offer trememdous support and love. God bless you both. May your offer be accepted. Bill Murray
Hope and pray your friend will listen....and who ever that maybe...listen to me.....if you take your own life there will be no cure.....God is the only way okay!!
Be strong and know you have true friends here who care deeply!!
I know it's not easy to listen to this...I have been where you are many times....But thank God for my friends here at AD.....they carried me through very bad times in my life......and I thank God for having them in my life!! Be strong now and talk to someone who care...at it seems like Karla are the right one to talk to!!
I am in high hopes that if this is reality rather than fiction, your friend will reconsider, don't be a coward, be strong, what ever the problem this too shall pass...good luck, Karla, hope your friend will come thru...Peace, Ed & Rufuz
Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
A homonymless man writes shows what it's like to look up the laid he skirts when you’re lying prone(d) to the sidewalk, beer / joint / needle dangling from your hand /lips / arm.

Heartbreaking, powerful response to someone's cry for help--I hope they reconsider. I've been there, so have you--thank God someone was there for us.
