Suicide

Handful of pills, that’s how some of us deals. 
Tub full of water, cuts deep to the wrist why even bother. 
Drink until you can’t think, bang your head on the bathroom sink. 
Hang yourself with your own belt, pain no one knew you felt. 
A bullet to my head, somedays I wish I was dead. 
Will I ever be good enough? Why does life have to be so tough? 
Try to crawl out of the darkness alone, but in the darkness is where I must belong. 
For every single thing I do right, it’s only my wrongs that’s brought to light. 
Try to move on from my past, but when something goes wrong it’s thrown in my face fast. 
For the demons I’ve overcome in this life, when I’m doing better they haunt me && taunt me and do it in strife. 
Plastic bag over my face, suffocation.
Jump from the highest building, in front of the nation. 
Not sorry for the occasion, I don’t care about the consequences I’m facing.

I Love You Enough

I love you enough to be your strength when you’re weak, your beacon in the dark, your shelter from the storm, your sun on a cloudy day. I love you enough to never walk away because I know what it is like to love you enough to let you go && feel the tightness in my chest, to feel lonely in a room full of ppl, to lay awake wishing things was different and to pretend it wasn’t killing me.

Eternity

They had a love so rare, in a time not so fair. Both young, hearts on fire, a love they knew would never tire. They built a life && he asked her to be his wife. He loved her beauty it was so bare, she loved him without a care. Even if the world was against them, she stood beside him. You’d never knew that she was sick but the cancer took her way too quick. No time to really prepare, taken away their future to share. For their kids he had to go on, he had to be strong. The emptiness he felt inside he didn’t show, he didn’t want anyone to know. For nine years she’s waited on the other side, now they run hand in hand in the fields so wide. His smile never was the same after she was gone, now I know it’s a mile long. She’s no longer in pain, he’s no longer going insane. They balanced each other just right, it was love at first sight. Losing them hurts me deep, makes it hard sometimes to sleep. But I know they’re together now && forever, just the way they wanted to be. A love like theirs will always be, eternity.
