I once contemplated Suicide
I once contemplated suicide,
But only if I couldn’t have you by my side,
Reading my eulogy, shedding a few tears is nothing compared to the endless ocean before my eyes, we are given this one life,

I Contemplated
I CONTEMPLATED
I contemplated reality
As a spectator
And
Found no answers
