A Poem by Jb

Why'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
