I am a raincoat on your way home, sheltering you from the storm. When its thundering and lightening my only wish was the electricity spreading through every single one of my veins to keep you warm. I could write and write but it's never electric enough to keep you sane. And every single sympathetic step towards the end, towards bathtub I wish I was the one who took the pain. I wish I was a toaster accompanying your stares towards the water and I'd slaughter all the distressing thoughts that make your mind wonder. But the music in my head made it stop. Everything stopped and it was calmed at suicide. But how do you run and hide? And how do you explain your neck slipping like butter? The rope sending you into a suffocating slumber. Do you say it was an accident? Do you say it was the thunder? That sent you into a frenzy in which you'd never recover. Now tape yourself together little wind up toy, just for a little while. Because even rain or shine if someone asks you how you're doing, you always lie and smile.

Nursery Rhymes for the Suicidal
I am a raincoat on your way home, sheltering you from the storm. When its thundering and lightening my only wish was the electricity spreading through every single one of my veins to keep you warm.
