Dear Suicide

Dear Suicide If you were standing with me, as in a person or a thing. I’d beat you, and I don’t just mean to win. I’d beat you till you begged me, and then I’d beat you more. Until your bones broke through your skin, and all of you was torn. You sneak in through their darkness, you grow within their pain And then you just move on, as if this were a game. If you were standing with me, you wouldn’t be for long You could try to scream for help But there’d be none to hear your song. I’d hold you under water, it wouldn’t be a chore. You’d know that you are drowning, I’d let you watch the shore. I’d shine light on your deception I’d introduce you to your pain I’d rip out your lying tongue So that you’d never speak again If you were standing with me I’d remind you of the time You whispered in my ear before And spun me a little rhyme. I opened up your doorway and took a step inside. But a light rushed swiftly past me and torched through your dark lies. See the truth is you are nothing Your less now that you can’t talk You aren’t even real You’re a shadow when I walk. If you were standing with me I’d eventually let you go. Let’s see you spin Your web of lies With me close by in tow I’d hunt you for eternity with the whole world on my back. When you slip or stumble Or your course at all does change I’d put my sights onto your head And send a round down range
