It Had To Be Done

Laying on the floor,
curled up in a puddle of blood feeling so poor,
Whatever happened to me?
I used to be happy don't you see?
I wish that when i told you i wished for death you would have believed,
but you didn't you just told me you had to leave,
and here i am today,
slowly fading away,
but don't you worry my memory won't haunt you for long,
in a little while now i'll be where i belong,
but please don't you cry,
and instead be happy and understand why,
it had to be done,
for me life just wasn't any fun,
i was living a world of failures and pains,
it was slowly driving me insane,
so i cut my last cut for you,
because i didn't know what else to do,
just remember that sooner or later we all die,
but for now it is my time to say good-bye.
