Your Favorite Song- Brick By Brick
Brick by brick she
stumbled and crumbled,
one roped to my ankle,
as I drown-
She sits as I stand.
I cry and take her hand.
She makes excuses,
I enable again.
For I knew I was losing
my best friend.
Brick by brick she cracks like cement,
rubble under her toes like glass shards-
One prick from her sharp pain,
I tumble.
Gone insane.
No life remains.
She tells lies,
I believe with trust.
She thinks her masquerade,
is a longing must.
She cussed,
I fussed.
A crimson red stone,
left me alone as I
condone her behavior-
mortar began to m

and anguish I felt,
left barren and alone...
her own life she could never savor.
I tried to do a favor,
to heaven she was blown,
like a onyx raven, she has flown.
She needed love to survive,
I tried to keep her to stay alive-
She longed for motivation,
I longed for a different situation.
Her life...
severe annihilation.
Flowers in her rank hospital room,
I knew soon she’d feed off hell’s doom-
My world ended when she turned gloom,
now I inhale the blazing fire fume.
Suicide took her from me,
brick by brick she longed to be free-
A sad story told as she crumbled and stumbled,
I prayed as her brick brought me to my knees.
My favorite song is "Brick" by Ben Folds Five
It's about a man who loves a girl who is severely depressed.
He tries to help her in every way, but in the end it just wasn't enough.
She felt taking her life was the only option.
