Rise Awareness Not Stigma-Suicide
A long day…today…
A sad night…tonight…
If only I knew what was right.
Pretending to understand why you would leave me.
Pretending to understand why I let you fly free.
Considering all the possibilities you carried in your realm.
Considering all the reasons why you felt overwhelmed.
I needed you to live; you needed chemicals to survive.
I needed love to give; you needed alcohol to stay alive.
You bled yourself just to feel; I just allowed you to die.
You bled yourself just to heal; I just couldn’t say goodbye.
I can’t stop the horrid pain; you couldn’t stop your last drink.
I can’t stop trying to explain; you couldn’t stop and think.
Your beauty died in vain; my beauty died with you.
Your beauty brought the rain; my beauty has no value.
Pretending to understand why you left without me.
Pretending to understand why you made me the enemy.
A callous day…today…
A harsh night…tonight…
If only I held the insight.
