Our sad story

I sit alone
With a knife
I wonder if
I should take my life

Wanting you
Here with me
In your arms
I need to be

Still no answer
To my call
I begin to cry
I punch the wall

My knuckles broken
I fall to the floor
Then a bang
A knock at the door

You stand firmly
You keep your place
I try to hug you
There’s no embrace

You push me away
You tell me “no,
I don’t want you”
I feel so low

“I need you”
I say
“And if you do not
I’ll die today”

“It could still work
We don’t need to give up
It was just a bad patch
A bit of rough luck”

Again you speak
Your words are true
“I loved you once
You loved me too”

“That’s in the past
It’s not where I live
I have moved on
With nothing to give”

“Don’t talk of death
You will again smile
You just need some help
It might take a while”

“I bid you farewell
And I hope that you see
This is the last time
You will ever see me”

You walk away
But I don’t know why
I have the gun
And I’m ready to die

I pull the trigger
And here I bled
I’ve finally done it
I’m almost dead

You run to my side
My body so frail
You listen to my heart
It begins to fail

Now you start to cry
And your tears are true
As I utter the words
“I love you”

With my final breath
Our final kiss
And you realise
This one you will miss

You cling to my shell
As though I’m still there
My mouth hanging open
My eyes fix a stare

“Come back, I lied
I love you too!
I just don’t know anymore
Tell me what to do!”

No answer is given
I’m dead don’t you see
You had your chance
To remain with me

Days pass by
As tears you shed
Trying to cope
With the fact that I’m dead

As they lower my coffin
You look away
You remember my words
On my dying day

Flowers are then placed
Words then said
No one can stop
The tears that are shed

The gates now closed
I become a stone in the ground
Another sad story
Never to be found

You continue to live
As I watch up above
In your heart I remain
Still your true love
