Now i can rest

by kida   Jan 9, 2007


You see me crying but you dare not ask
it's just another day behind this smiling mask
i never realised you could see right through,
all the lies of hopes and dreams i tried to feed to you

i laughed and smiled and told you i was fine
you're the only one who saw through the wall i was behind
you wanted to help, you didn't know how
i wonder what you're thinking right now

i did get your note, but it came too late
i was too far gone to re-evaluate
the blood was pouring down, i read your heart felt lines
unfortunately it was too late, i was running out of time

you saw straight through the girl, i tried so hard to be
you saw through the mask, you saw the real me
you realised i was far gone, didn't think i wanted help
but you had to say something, if not for me then for yourself

you once lost a friend to suicide, you saw her frozen face
you couldn't stand the thought of another such disgrace
you saw through her mask too but never dared to warn
to never let this happen again to yourself you had sworn

i read your words and die, a slow and painful death
holding the only proof someone cared tight against my chest
as i breathe my last and final breath
i scribble a quick message, "thank-you, now i can rest"
