Desperation

Author's Note: In the chapter Dr. Lanyon's Narrative, Henry Jeykll wrote Lanyon a letter begging him to help him with a task that he has no idea about, but is expected to follow his orders with no objection. Jekyll displayed huge amounts of desperation and this poem reflects on that desperation when one friend put all of their problems on the other no matter how much they try to save them from the pain. The friend wanting help needs the other and it puts guilt in the other, just like Jekyll did to Lanyon.

All you hear are begs and plees,
They're pressing to be free.
Hearts are open wide,
And they need to change your mind.
You know their past and they won't change,
Nothing can make their attitude rearrange.
But they cry to you, their desperate;
And you've been best friends, they force remembrance.
They twist your thoughts and leavig you with no choice;
You try to talk, but start to block out your voice.
Follow the orders, don't talk back,
Plans are set, time to cut the slack.
They've taken over, go through the motions,
You've been here before, you know the notions.
It all comes down on you,
This happens everytime, its not out of the blue.
She always does this,
It always starts with a bliss.
No matter how many times you tell her he's not right,
She fights you on it with all her might.
Then he breaks her down,
And all of her tears could make her drown.
But she desperate remember?
In her dark time you're her ember.
Best friends are there no matter what,
The feeling is always there in your gut.
Whether they yell and scream or fight,
Things will always be alright.
