Suicide

She grabbed my hand from behind
       And said, "Look up at the building;
       I'm thinking of jumping."
       I said, "Man, you should just take a shot;
       Can't you see the walls are crumbling?"
       She skipped right past the guard and left me wondering
       If it was all just in my head.

       Then she side entrance's me to the roof
       and when I tell her she's cute she says,
       "I had a booy-friend.  Now take my hand."
       And I said no.
       "So ready or not here I go."
       I reach out my hand and ask, "What do you want?"
       "Just grow up you.  And wait."
       She takes off one shoe.
       Gets on the ledge.
       And jumped.
