As my body rests
Against this wall
I think of you
And how I fall
For you
Every single time
But you don’t know
So I write this rhyme
About love so true
It cannot hide
Oh to tell you
I have tried
But I cannot
Find a way
Although I think
About it everyday
I think I may
I think I might
Have found the courage
To tell you tonight
But as I approach
What do I see
You with a man
And he’s not me
So I stand
So very still
You never knew
And never will
And as you kiss
This other man
My mind creates
Another plan
About death so true
It ends this pain
So I walk away
As it starts to rain
Just one more thing
To ruin this day
It’s now screwed-up
In every way
Through my door
I walk so slow
This pain inside
I’ll never show
Out the back
Into the shed
A new calm in me
Soon I’ll be dead
I grab the blade
And cut so deep
Another secret
From you I’ll keep
You don’t know me
And never will
Although you are
The reason I kill
Myself tonight
Under this cloudy sky
I start to bleed
Soon I’ll die
But one more thought
Springs to my mind
It’s my life
In rewind
And as the clips
Slowly roll
The blood I’ve lost
Takes its toll
I slowly fade
Away to black
What I’ve done
I can’t take back

Thoughts inside my head
I can’t control
Wanting to be dead
Takes its toll
On this life
I try to live
So with this knife
I will give
My heart to you
Straight from my chest
Because you threw
Away the rest
So I will show them all
What you wouldn’t take
When I fall
Maybe you’ll see your mistake
Love I gave
To you so free
I tried to be brave
So you couldn’t see
All the pain
That you caused me
I can’t explain
But now you’ll never see
The tears I cried
When I was alone
You know you lied
Words set in stone
I love you
You said to me
But that’s untrue
Now all can see
How you ripped
Out my heart
The scale was tipped
From the start
Towards you
Your wants and needs
Because you were untrue
My heart bleeds
So as this knife
Cuts into my chest
To you, my wife
I wish the best
The sweetest dreams
In your head
Of blood red streams
Where I lay dead
And in this thought
I re-gain control
I will not be forgot
Though you stole my soul
My life ends
As yours begins
Your mind twists and bends
Each night, re-living your sins
