It's short, deep and to the point. You can say more, but I don't know if you really can. Maybe we can bring the light to each other in our tribulations of dark seeking adventures. Every little bit helps a little bit.

Diana, I'm so sorry about your friend , I hope she gets better. I will say a prayer for her, I promise.
I found this a bit confusing...
Looking deep into your opening (open or opened?) eyes.

I can feel the love and pain you feel for your friend. I hope she gets better and read your essay

Hugs,
Ana

    it was a metaphor...i was looking into her eyes that were being opened up by the knowledge she was gaining...you have heard the phrase that really opened my eyes or that was a real eye opener...thanks for reading yours, diana

The feelings are intense in this brief write. It read like a prayer, a heartfelt one at that. I have been broken more times than I care to admit. One never knows when it will hit you with your defenses up or down. Thanks for sharing this, sweetheart. Warm hugs. Sincerely. Zack

Well written. No obviously errors. Such a sad cry written from the heart. Well done. Emotions right on top.

Artasyum:

Very nice and very touching. I enjoyed the read ant the thought it conveyed.

I have a couple of observations--nothing serious at all. See what you think.

Please hear me when I tell you even though you're feeling lost and alone(;) your lost state is just temporary. (This should be a comma instead of a semicolon. A semicolon separates two main clauses not otherwise separated by a coordinating conjunction. This is a subordinate clause followed by a main clause.)

Lost is only half the coin...found is the other. (I think this is a mixed metaphor. Shouldn't it be "the other side of the coin?" Also, when using ellipses, there should be a space before and after the ellipses.) (?The ellipsis, which consists of three periods with a space before and after each is used in the middle of a sentence of dialogue to indicate halting speech, as if the character were unsure of himself or striving to say precisely the right thing or at the end of dialogue to indicate a voice trailing off.? Page 73 Writing Realistic Dialogue and Flash Fiction?Harvey Stanbrough)

You must believe in yourself ...as God believes in you. (Same ellipses as above.)

You are missed...You are loved...Please come home (Same ellipses as above.)

A good read.

I find writing in the second person rarely works. I am not mired in the same darkness as the writer, but I would like to know more about it from a first person or third person perspective.

Emotion write my dear diana.
Couple of questions/comments.
Why the single quotation marks?

Lost is only half the coin...found is the other.
"half" or "side" ?
In much pain---boberto

The only thing more haunting that this artwork is your prose. If this letter doesn't resonate with the recipient, if won't be for lack of content or feeling. I don't know who the letter is for, but that person is lucky indeed to have a friend like you.

No longer able to find my way, I can't go on and no more love to give are some of the hardest words a person can hear. You wrote this with so much love and tenderness, I wept at the loss of happiness this person felt.

My Dad hit that crossroads and took his own life. I wouldn't change one tiny word in this piece. It's wrenchingly sad and at the same time warm and caring.

Hugs,

Maggie
