When Words Just Are Not Enough

Don't tell me not to kill myself
because you simply don't know
how it feels to not want to live anymore
to be ready to leave everything
and everyone you've ever loved behind
because you want to protect them
from the darkness you live in
Don't tell me not to kill myself
because you are never there
when I sob and cry myself to sleep
Don't tell me not to kill myself
you don't care if I cut myself again
you don't know when I'm ready
to sleep forever
Don't tell me not to kill myself
because you haven't stood
in the middle of the highway
wishing to get hit by a speeding car
Don't tell me not to kill myself
you say you love me but you never show it
Don't tell me not to kill myself
because you only give advice and guidance
when all I need is a true friend
to help me win the war against myself
