why
so why would you want to die
when you have so many places to go
so many airplanes yet to fly
so may aw's and so many whoa's

people you have yet to meet
all the books you haven't read
so many food you need to eat
or sleeping in, instead

so why would you want to die
when there's music yet to listen
shoulders to cry
and fears that will glisten
there's sunsets to watch
and even games to play

so why wish to be dead

I've been sitting here all alone
slowly forgetting the touch of your lips,
wondering when and if you'll come home
i didn't listen to what they had to say
my response was that they didn't understand,
they were quick to judge
but you had nothing to say

i knew you were afraid
but you said you would protect me,
one too many lies that i believed
i remember looking into your eyes
and seeing the deepest of blues,
and so i sit here with nothing but a good-bye
not even a kiss, a hug, only a lie

the temptation of wanting to be
a millimeter away,
the look in your eyes just sway
his warm lips touch yours
on a cold winter day
the feeling of eternity
and as we pull away
and our eyes open
i realize it was not reality.

it only took him one puff
and you suddenly lost him
you could see in his eyes it was bluff
but the tears brought you back

he deeply inhales the smoke
all these memories running through his head
and the radical thoughts began to flounder
but all he clearly remembered was you in his bed

his bloodshot eyes
all this strange laughter
his slow reflexes causing paranoia
and all you wanted to know was
what would come after

he was no longer faded
but your mind was obscure
he whispered in your ear,
"procure, procure, procure"

without a sound he pulled you away
the temptation was getting hot
he laid you down beside the ash tray
you then whispered in his ear,
"me or the ***"

his chapped lips trembled
but he grabbed your hand
you tried to remember what it resembled
he closed his eyes and asked..
"why can't you understand?"
