Dying for love

by foreverhappy   Jul 25, 2005


A single tear stained her cheek
Knowing what she had to do
She pulled the gun up to her head
And whispered "I love you"

She gritted her teeth
Wiped away her tear
She pulled the trigger with one hand
And with the other held her note near

She fell back on her bed
And her breath grew short
She knew she was dying
And would no longer hurt

Her mother was the one
To find her there dead
A smile on her face
And a single bullet to her head

She had her heart broken
And couldn't take the pain
She loved him so much
It was driving her insane

She tried to live without him
But he controlled her heart
She knew she was in love
From the very start

She loved him
More than life it's self
He was her reason
She put the blade back on the shelf

He was the reason
She held on for so long
He was perfect to her
He could do no wrong

He broke her heart
And in the end
There was still nothing
She wouldn't do for him

She held on to the hope so long
That they'd be together in the end
She gave up her life
For a lost love, a lost friend

She didn't want to hurt him
She didn't want him to know
That every night she lay in bed
Cutting herself real slow

Each cut was for a day
That she went without him
Everyday there was a new
Way to many to count all of them

So she hid herself
Until she couldn't take anymore
Now she's laying in a coffin
Where she won't hurt anymore

Her heart has been mended
And he's left there alone
Feeling rather guilty
Wishing the truth could be known

He wished he would have told her
How much he longed for her
And at night he'd dream
Things were as they once were

But he spoke up to late
She's already gone
And he lays depressed
And completely withdrawn

He blames her death
Upon himself
So he pulls his blade
Off his shelf

He cuts his wrist once
And knows its not enough
He cuts it again
And thinks of all this stuff

He keeps cutting
Until you can't see his skin
It's making him feel better
Killing the demon within

It was a sudden choice
Not given much thought
He deserved to die
And didn't care if he got caught

He was sorry for the pain
He caused everyone
And for letting her
Pick up the gun

It was his turn
To die this time
So he picked up the razor
An cut one more time

He took the razor
Pressed as hard as he could
Looking at the blood
He stood as still as he could

The room starting spinning
He collapsed to the floor
His eyes went shut
And he wasn't breathing anymore

Just like Romeo and Juliet
It was love they died for
It'll happen every hear
And cannot be ignored

Young love is serious
And heartache is real
So careful what you say
Because teenagers do feel

**sorry i know its bad. Its just stuff going on right now. having a hard time coming up with anything decent**
