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
