Don’t.

by Daphne Darling   May 21, 2004


Don’t ask me why, why there are slits along my wrist,
Don’t ask me why, why I cry all day and all night,
Don’t ask me why, why you never see me at school,
Don’t ask me why, why I never call you on the phone,

Don’t ask me because you know all the answers,

Don’t bother me, bother me with all your excuses,
Don’t bother me, bother me while I die on the floor,
Don’t bother me, bother me as I scream for help,
Don’t bother me, bother me as the tears run dry,

Don’t bother me because I can not respond to you,

Don’t worry, worry as the tears flow free from my eyes,
Don’t worry, worry as I take this knife from the draw,
Don’t worry, worry as I skip all my classes,
Don’t worry, worry as I fade in front of your eyes,

Don’t worry because I am too far-gone already,

Don’t call me, call me as I cry for you yet again,
Don’t call me, call me as I fall away from you,
Don’t call me, call me as I sit at home pondering death,
Don’t call me, call me as I take from you my life,

Don’t call me because I will no longer answer you,

Don’t watch me, watch as I slip slowly away from you,
Don’t watch me, watch as you lose me from you sight forever,
Don’t watch me, watch as my life fades away from this earth,
Don’t watch me, watch as my blood spills over the floor,

Don’t watch because I know you don’t want to see this,

Don’t love me, don’t love me as I slit my wrist in front of you,
Don’t love me, don’t love me as I kill myself because of you,
Don’t love me, don’t love me as the last sight of me slips past,
Don’t love me, don’t love me as I kill all you loved of me,

Don’t love me because I love you more than anyone else does.
