As you stand with a knife in your hand thinking how easy it would be to end it


I am reminded of just how I felt when the black clouds and darkness had finally descended


If I could part the seas of blackness that leave you drowning when you least expect


I could understand why you called out for help but then left me for hours on "read"


If I had the power to wrap my arms around you when the coldness takes you under arrest


If I could reach inside your mind and keep all the best things but leave out all the rest


If my words had the ability to cut through all the sorrow that's holding you captive


I'd destroy this phantom monster that takes away your joy and leaves you stranded


But I stand here simply watching the slow undoing of you and I'm helpless


Please hear me as I call to you I am telling you not to end this


Because I was just like you before I made the choice that has led me to where I am now


As you stand with a knife in your hand I am screaming your name from six feet underground
