Two cans of pineapple for us to eat together
We open them and dump the juice out
Watching as it runs down the drain
Swirling so fast just like my brain is now
For I almost lost a true friend of mine
They were hurting inside
So am I
I wish that I could have been the spark that ignited their flame
But instead I didn’t see the signs
I didn’t read the clues
But now I realize I could have read them
I could have done more
But I was missing something
I shared two cans of pineapple
Brought two forks
I shared my chips along with some tootsie rolls
But it wasn’t enough cuz they didn’t want to be here any more
I wish I could have done better
I wish they can come back to school right now
I wish I could wrap them up in a hug
And tell them they are enough
Let them know I care
Because I do care and they are enough
I really wish I can share some pineapple with them
and wash their hurt down the drain
I wish I could have saved them
And give them what they need most
