A waving rifle In a pain struck hand A lonely boy He forgot how to stand A knife of beauty Cut in his flesh A trail of blood New and fresh A single breath Taken today Before he tried To run away A single pill To end it all A final hope To jump and fall A new letter He didn't know why A single phrase "Please don't die"
A lonely girl In a mistaken world Another fight About to unfurl A single dream Of another life A large hope To be more than a wife A smile curving Up on her lips A plan folding out In careful strips A pen she finds Carefree on the floor A paper she grabs Then walks out the door A little plea She sends through the air Then throws it in Without a care A hurting boy Will read this too And she hopes he knows "I care about you"
I became quiet Because you were too loud I became apologetic Because you never apologized I began to hate touch Because you touched with violence I began to hate myself Because you never loved me I don’t know how much more change I can take before i’m unrecognizable
