Last Night I Died

Last night I died.

I walked through the streets and the lights where shining,
The air seemed so crisp and cool against my skin.
The ocean sounded so clear when I shut my eyes.

I saw you siting on your knees crying,
Wondering how I could let go.
I saw my mother in her own private space screaming.
My family torn apart.
My grandmother wishing she could turn back a day and saved me.

Last night I died.
I could not take back what I had done.
Only see the pain I had caused.
It could have been stopped.
Everyone thought it was a joke.

Last night I died.
A decision I cannot live to regret.
