You cut throats
Without a second thought,
So tell me why,
Does my neck stay unslit?

What about me,
Makes you care?
When I did nothing
To stop you from getting there.

I know you were pushed,
That these people made you do it.
But what id I'd stepped in,
Would it help ease the pain?

I could've been a friend,
Instead I just stood and watched.
I may not of caused it,
But I sure as Hell didn't stop it.

I need you more than anything
And I'll never once abuse your trust.
I just wish I could do something
To make you feel okay again.

All that I can really say
Is I'll never make the same mistake.

This is about a guy that I consider my best friend and it's me asking why I mean something to him.

He wasn't so much being bullied as people criticizing his life choices. They arn't popular and a lot of people criticise them and dislike him for them.

"But what id I'd stepped in, Would it help ease the pain?"   Was that a typo or on purpose? Also is the kid being bullied and the bestfriend watching?

Thanks! I see it that way to but it's a little different for me since it's a true story (which most of my poems are).

This is lovely, and I love the last line especially! Very relatable, and I really like your technique of asking questions; it's captivating. You're a great writer :)
