Scratch away, you can slice away
and pass away if you want to
What to do? Best if we were through
You can go but I have to stay
Protect my health, you can disect yourself
and commit to shit, I won't stop you
What to do? Guess we are through
I will stay and you run away
Will you stay? Please and come and play
With me today and I won't hate you
What to do? Yes we are through
You can stay but I'm moving away
The day you die
You're leaving me for death
So don't waste your breath with
...Goodbye
and pass away if you want to
What to do? Best if we were through
You can go but I have to stay
Protect my health, you can disect yourself
and commit to shit, I won't stop you
What to do? Guess we are through
I will stay and you run away
Will you stay? Please and come and play
With me today and I won't hate you
What to do? Yes we are through
You can stay but I'm moving away
The day you die
You're leaving me for death
So don't waste your breath with
...Goodbye
Author notes
I wrote this about a friend I used to have named Stanley Gladstone. We were pretty close and he was suicidal but I never really thought he was serious. When my parents split up we had to move away and shortly after. He hung himself.

I'm sorry for your loss. I've had a friend die, and while she didn't commit suicide, that feeling of losing someone hurts like a motherf*cker. I hope everything has gotten better for you.

This could be a bit easier to follow with some punctuation, wherever it's necessary. Also, you don't need to capitalise the first word of every line unless you've started a new sentence.
Thanks for the entry!

Great job, I know how that must feel to lose a friend like that and I am deeply sorry for you. But you just have to live life to the fullest and it you ever find out that someone is suicidal then try and talk to them immediatly. Great poem and good luck in the contest.
