Desperately* I tried to save her from herself,
She writes her suicide note in the blood that spills from her arms.
The rivers run red with the hundreds of cuts that form on her legs,
Her eyes fill with tears as she desperately clings to the life she once wished to throw away...

Please don't go I whispered to her the last time we spoke,
She turned around and whispered back at me...

You won't have to worry for much longer,
I'm sorry for the pain I brought you...
But believe me I am a goner,
I'm sorry for what I put you through...


So I desperately held her until she slipped away into the night,
When she held a gun to her head I prayed for the first time in my life...

Desperately I prayed to god to make everything right, I wished for him to take your knife, I pleaded for him to save you.

If I ever believed there wasn't a god, a part of me believes now.
Because what else could it be but a miracle that I woke up to your smiling face on my too bright phone screen the next morning...
Desperation leads to destruction and tears...to many tears...
