Goodbye For Good

Goodbye for good  

She was tired, she was crying, she was hurting and cutting but she was hurting too much that suicide got to her . 

Suicide told her that the world would be better off if she wasn't here anymore.

Suicide told her she would be happy again.

Suicide told her to say “goodbye for good”.

So...she did, she said those exact same words and suicide took her life.

Suicide took her life and laughed. 

Suicide took her life and told her to enjoy herself in the underworld. 

Suicide said “make yourself at home c’mon don't be shy I think you'll like it down here”.

She was scared at first but then the underworld warmed up to her, literally.
She said to suicide “it feels like home, like I belong, thank you so much suicide you saved my life”...
