Tell me was it worth it?
As I watched you do your 3 long lines,
I remained silent as mother nature,
Indifferent to your own slow suicide.
For who was I to say
That this was not the way;
That you should drop your lifestyle
Simply because I said so.
I promised I wouldn't intrude
Even swore to leave you be
As the blood poured
From your oh so beatiful face.
I may as well have held a gun to your temple
And told myself that as long as you pulled the trigger
It wouldn't be my fault.
But I didn't want to nag,
Would rather leave you to your own
And whatever your own may be
It wasn't my place to get involved.
Oh, how I did watch you change
From happy to sad to paranoid
Cleaning your spotless bathroom
Convinced the floor was moving.
I remember a time when we were friends
Good friends, though not quite lovers:
Back then you were dead sexy.
But now I stand silent over your grave,
Crying,
Because you're not dead sexy, just dead. |
