When I had nothing,
you made me feel guilty.
You were suppose to be there,
and love me unconditionally.
I needed you most,
in my time of despair.
Yet that was the time,
I felt you didn't care.
I stood before you,
and all the rest.
As I took the blade,
and slit my wrist.
You said nothing,
didn't even move.
Just sat there staring,
while eating your food.
Then you asked me,
"do you think your cool?"
While you sat there,
thinking I was a fool.
My reply was "no,
I did it for your attention."
But that didn't matter,
you still wouldn't listen.
You broke my heart,
and did it so blunt.
That's part of the reason,
I almost jumped.
On my way to the bridge,
I swore it was the only way.
Tears fell uncontrollably,
knowing you wouldn't forget this day.
I waited for the perfect moment,
then I climbed over the gate.
I knew I had to do it quickly,
I was so sure this was my fate.
Even though I was scared,
looking down at the 401,
There wasn't anything,
anyone could have done.
A crowd stood behind me,
they begged me in fright,
The only reason I froze,
is because I'm afraid of heights.
The police soon came,
yelled to come back over.
As I went to step down,
they pulled me back over.
