One by one they come
Looking down and seeing
That for the time being
Everything has gone numb.

It comes down to being dead
Lying here in this tiny space
Looking up at the tear filled face
This is the one thing I did dread…

i never meant to hurt you
but see I failed at that too
I wanted to say I felt so alone
I wish you could have known

I did all I could
I tried to save myself
i showed that I needed help
but you would have never understood

Life became too difficult
I tried to move on
All I could do was be withdrawn
I promise you, it wasn’t your fault

Now here you stand
Looking over me one last time
Wondering what was so grand
That made me commit this horrible crime.

Those tears keep flowing
If only you knew,
That I would want you to keep going
Just please, break through.

…why didn’t I see this before
before I opened up that drawer
before I pulled the trigger
before my body fell to the floor??
