Just one more day

I take the blade
I press it deep
I close my eyes
and finally sleep

I wrote my letters
I said my prayers
my goodbyes to all those
for whom I care

Please mommy,
please don’t cry
it’s not that bad
I’m not afraid to die

I tried so hard
to be ok
but I couldn't make it
through one more day

They say sometimes
the soul just dies
that happened to me
I can’t tell you why

Blood red tears
washed away my pain
and the infection disappeared
like teardrops in the rain.

And in the final moment
just before I flew away
I prayed to God
for just one more day.
