Suicide Note

I’ll slit my wrists tonight
I’ll slit my wrists right 
Across till I can’t feel my fingers 
I don’t care about dreams cause the pain 
Since you left still lingers in my mind’s air
And my flair and swagger has dissipated
If my heart had only anticipated
The ripples you’d leave when you left
And I can’t take a single breath
Without your name
And the same pain now wounds me
With this suicide not even death can soothe me

They bleed so very red
I’m calling for painful death
I’m wishing that the next three breaths
Raise my chest for the three last times
And even though passed
Time I still want to die
Cause it isn’t a life if I can’t
Be the one who makes you cry
And when you smile
The reasons need to be my words

These reasons need to be the birds
The inhabitants of your sky
The predators that lie
In wait
I’m waiting…

I’m waiting for you to heal my wounds
I’m waiting for you to be my moons
The stars in my night sky
The reason my tears are dry
No more reasons to cry 

Sit here wishing you back
Sit here wishing I lacked
This “for you” weakness
And with each less moment I wait

And wait
And wait
And wait
She's not coming back
