Imagine me dead

to you who writes such tragedy

Just a few hours ago I read your letter
Explaining to me how you think you’d be better
Off dead, that your life is no longer worth living
You say you’ve done things that just aren’t worth forgiving
The tears that you’ve cried, and the lies that you hide
How they eat you inside with no one to confide in
I want you to know that I’ve always been here
Wanting only to guide you away from your fears
If you’d only just let me I’d kiss all your tears
away, you never gave me the chance to be near
you. So please listen closely my words are sincere
you would take part of me if you just disappeared
a big piece of my heart that I could not replace
along with memories that I could not erase
like those moments when I brought a smile to your face
you can NOT convince me that you’ve fallen from grace
so before you give in take a look at yourself
not the “you” who’s depended on somebody else
to feel loved, to feel blessed, to feel beautiful inside
take a look at the real “you” the one you’ve denied
cause she’s screaming inside you “please open your eyes!”
please look past this disguise you’ve created with lies
there’s a beautiful soul within walls that you’ve built
out of bricks of low self-esteem, anger, and guilt
If you’d just let me in I could show you the real you
with love, unconditional, love that could heal you
before you listen to that voice in your head
think of how you would feel if it was me instead
could you live with yourself if you found me in bed
with the sheets stained and soaked with the blood that I’ve bled?
Please remember my face when you start to see red
When you pick up that blade, just imagine me dead
