I Watch
As you walk away, I watch
I think and remember the days where we played hopskotch
How can you let me go so easy
You said you cared more than most
and yet you hurt me so freely
I watch as you get used to me not being around
and I listen to see if your "happy voice" still has the same sound
We had plans that put everyone's to shame
and now those planned dates can be wiped away
This lesson taught me to keep myself a good distance from anything too close
Because even the people who say you're their everything
Will hurt you the most
I watch as the gleam in my eyes fade
More and more everyday
I feel my heart beating slowly
my eyes are always closing
I don't want to be awake
These tears are pouring
These kinds of demons, I cannot take
I watch as the lump of pills slides down my throat
They'll kick in soon, oh you feel it? It's starting to get cold
Lay on the bed and take some more Zzzquil
In about 5 mins, you won't be able to feel
I know you're scared to finally let go
But just let it happen, go with the flow
If you feel pain before relief,
grab that knife, and slice until you no longer feel dizzy
The jugular vein is where I'd recommend
To make your chances of dying a 10/10
But if you want to play with life less dangerously,
slit your wrist and try to count past 23
If you're not satisfied, look for other ways
I'll be here watching myself
Watching myself slowly fade away
