pleaseA Poem by JbWhy'd you have to find me? Exhaust running, my breath escaping Couldn't you just let me bleed? With the car running, slashes gaping Why'd you have to find me? Pills scattered on the floor Life draining from my listless body I couldn't take it anymore I didn't want to be found That night that I went driving into the dark Standing on the edge of the cliff My image oh so stark A skeleton dancing with death Bones gliding through the night sky I didn't care about anything else There was no reason to cry Because I knew that the fall wouldnt hurt Because I'd be gone before the end And yes, I needed to end it all Because my wounds were too deep to mend But why'd you have to find me? My foot dangling over the edge Peering down at my destiny Death lurking over the edge Why'd you have to hold me? When I was too numb to feel When conherence had escaped my mind When I could decipher what was real I know you love me But love isn't enough Because I hate myself And life's too rough I know I'm weak And I know that's why I don't deserve life, I deserve to die So please, oh please don't find me As I tie that final knot Please, oh please don't try to stop me This is the only chance I've got I don't want you to have to see My face swollen, purple, and blue But please, oh please just know There was nothing you could do Because I've been gone For far too long And I just couldn't try anymore I couldn't stay strong So please, oh please, don't find me Because I don't want to break your heart Because I know the pain you feel from it breaking Since mine's been broken from the start © 2011 Jb |
