Take that last breath.

by Willow   Aug 22, 2006


Take that last breath,
Take it before you're put down to rest.
With that breath,
Take the memories that are the best.

Take that last breath,
Watch the blood drip to the floor.
Make sure it's done right this time,
And make sure no one can get through that door.

Take that last breath,
And hold onto it tight.
Wish upon a star,
Wish that tonight will be your last night.

Take that last breath,
And feel the pain slip away.
Feel at ease at last,
And finally let those tears stray.

Take that last breath,
And try not to think of the people you'll hurt.
Try not to think at all,
Because soon you'll be 6 feet under the dirt.

Take that last breath,
And slip that blade across your wrist.
Smile because it feels better,
And smile as the blood runs through your fist.

Take that last breath,
And whisper sorry towards the night sky.
Whisper sorry because you couldn't live on,
Whisper sorry because this is the way you die.
