You shadow me with emotions,
You cover me with fear,
I am you’re only outlet,
To shed a single tear.
Your eyes ask me questions,
But your mouth doesn’t move,
You are scared of death,
For other people too soon.
When i touch you, you shiver,
You don’t remember the touch of someone who cares,
I tell you it’s ok,
And that i will always be there.
You ask me not to leave you,
For heaven or anyone else,
I tell you i swear on my life,
And that i will make that promise to myself.
I didn’t quite understand,
What it was that was wrong,
But then you tell me,
Your dead cousins song just came on.
You made me promise,
That i would never give up on life,
And that i would always hang on,
And would never slice myself with a knife.
As you turned to walk away,
You whispered in my ears,
My cousin hung himself from a rope,
Because life was all he feared.
