"It's a shame,"
A mother  says to her daughter,
"that such pretty girls think such dark things."

But there it is --
The very reason why us girls think thoughts so dark:
There is beauty in death.

As soon as we're gone,
People suddenly want us.
Celebrities will pray for the poor young lost soul,
We'll suddenly be beautiful in everyone's eyes --
And everyone will want to be our friend.

Suddenly those bullies want forgiveness,
And your out-of-your-league crush likes you back.

You'll never age -- a constant beauty.
You'll be pure -- negativity buried with your body.
You'll be smart -- the one "with the bright future."

Suddenly we're wanted,
Missed
Mourned
Loved
We've gotten all we've been searching for!
But what good does it do us,
if we'll never feel the suns warmth again?
Never again to catch loose snowflakes,
Or smell the spring dafodils?

If you can bring yourself to never laugh again,
To never kiss again,
To never dream again,
Then it's on you.
But don't tell me you'll go without regret:

Maybe you'd still be alive if someone told you sooner?
Maybe we should stop praising those who take their lives?

You're saving my life, you know.
Right now.
You do sometimes, and I never tell you
Cause you don't need to do anything huge.
Sometimes when I talk to you I need it desperately
And you don't always have to know when it's happening.
Just... Sometimes you save my life.
And I figured this time instead of being quiet about it until after,
I'd say thanks.
So thanks.
Underneath I think I'm having a rough time.
But I don't know,
Because nothing else matters when I talk to you  
Just... Yeah, thanks.

Momma was dying,
I laid crying.
The day the ambulance
came and took Mom
away.
She laid in a bed
so thin so white.
I talked about
starting high school
and missing her.
I was told to say my
good byes
as it would be the last
time.
My last word I spoke
to her where "I love you"
I walked out of her room
And down the hall
a few weeks later
we got the call.
She wouldn't make it
another night.
Cancer took her,
but she put up a fight.

She closes her tear filled eyes
and  dreams of another life
She wants to look in the mirror
and not hate the girl
that stares back at her
Scars that cover her body
tally the times she's tried
to end her precious life
Mother and father
Oblivious
Sister and brother
Don't care
It's building up inside
Causing her to fall
Sooner or later
Death will take its toll
Future changed
She had made a friend
He was there for her
No matter the consequence
He stopped the death once
Showed her she mattered
And when she was healed
She had fallen in love
Her hero had fixed her
She had fixed herself
Life wasn't perfect
But it was a change
She was happier
Healthier
Than ever before

I think I left my heart
In the pocket of the jeans
I threw to wash
My emotions
Are in the center console
Of my truck
I left my love
On top of your dresser drawer
Along with my pack of stoges
And all the *****
I've ever given
I threw into the ocean
To finally be washed away

Every time he slips his tongue in my mouth,
It brings back the memories of sitting on my bedroom floor
And sliding my father's pistol in between my teeth.

Same concept.
