Suicide

It's dark

               and it's scary.

I'm still alive and breathing,

                                                 but just barely.

 

You're sitting by my bed

                                          thinking your dreaming.

You sit there and pray

                                       that I awake from sleeping.

 

You start to cry

                          about the scary thought.

That I might not wake up

                                            and you think it's your fault.

 

I want to wake

                         and tell the truth.

But I can't because the darkness is calm

                                                                          and to smooth.

 

I've got to wake,

                            I've got to tell.

It wasn't your fault

                                and I'm putting you through hell.

 

I was hurt

                 and wanted to die.

I know you didn't mean it,

                                             I know what you said was a lie.

 

We had a fight,

                          a huge war.

The war in which

                              I walked out the door.

 

I want to come back,

                                     imurge from the darkness.

And give you my heart back

                                                 and complete forgiveness.

 

I finally awake

                         and see you there.

You start to cry

                          and kiss my hair.

 

I tell you I love you

                                and I don't want to lose you.

You pull me close

                                and tell me you love me too.

 

I start to cry

                   and cover my head.

With the shirt on your body

                                               while you sit on my bed.

 

My chest hurts,

                         my chest aches.

Probably from the bullet I used

                                                       or the life I tried to take.

 

I love you so much

                                 so I have to say.

Mend my heart again

                                     and I will stay...
