Do Not

Do not listen to this lonely heart
Or to this girl that's torn apart
Or to this girl who's dead inside
Or to these previous thoughts of suicide

Do not care about this decay
Or how she feels today
Or how she's going insane
Or how she cries on memory lane

Do not help her as she drowns
Or tell her jokes when she frowns
Or tell her everything will be okay
Or tell her she will be freed from this dismay

Do not project empathy towards this empty thing
Or her waiting for you to ring
Or her bouts of depression
Or her suicide mission

Do not give a thought or care
Or save her from this dispair
Or save this disaster
Or save her happily ever after
