My mistake

Surrounded by shadows, drowned by tears,
choked by words, bounded to fears.

It's dark down here, it is my casket,
you knew I suffered, but you never asked it.

It's too late now, you took me for granted,
but I'll be okay, for this is what I wanted.

Let go of my hand! I will lay here and rotten,
move on with your life, I will be forgotten.

Don't try to save me, I don't want to live,
you asked for something I couldn't give.

Let go of my hand! Let go of me now!
You will be okay, some way, somehow.

Why are you saving me? I never meant a thing...
depression is all that I could bring.

You don't need me, so why do you care?
You never even noticed me, I was empty air.

You saw it coming, and you let me break,
I was nothing but a big mistake.

You slowly let go, I knew you would,
I'd yell at you, if only I could.

So now I'm watching you, from up above,
why are you crying, saying it was love?

Why are you holding my picture in your hand?
Why are you doing this? I don't understand.

Why are you holding that sharp kitchen knife?
No! Don't do it! Don't take your life!

Please, I beg you, get through each day,
it was my mistake, you don't have to pay!

I never knew, this pain you shared,
could it be....that someone cared?
