Anna

My body's cold,
lips are blue.
Why did I do this because of you?

I feel the earth below me
like a pillow under my head.
No knives, no guns, but pills instead.

The bottle lays empty,
cap unscrewed.
What did I do? What did I do?

My spirit floats, my body lays.
My lover finds me,
and he prays.

I reach for him.
I'm sucked away,
like a deep crest of a wave.

He pounds the ground,
screaming why, oh why?
I asked myself why did I?

My parents arrive, my best friend too
I thought to myself, what did I do!?

I look away, the pain's too deep.
My life is over because of me.

I look back for one last glance.
They zip me up in the body bag.
I did this to ease my pain.
I lost instead of gained.

As I look down at my family,
I regret that night.
My life stopped ticking
because of a fight.

Lock eyes with me so I can see into your soul.
Press your lips against mine so I know your taste.
Lay naked with me so I know your insecurities.
Sing a song to me so I know the tune of your heart.
Dance in the rain with me so I know your every move.
Marry me so I know you're all mine.
