Would You Die for Me?

I'm standing on top of a building
as cars are stopping to look up and stare, but I truly do not matter, they truly do not care.

I'm pretending I'm a bird
ready to take off and fly
gracefully imprinting my wings
in the clouds and sky.

What would it matter
if I just let go?
as my body would drop
a thousand pains below.

The police are driving up now
there voices echo through
the whispering wind
but jaded edges of my broken
heart, lay to far to reach within.

They are telling me not to do it
not to take that final leap
not to preserve my body
into an eternal peaceful sleep.

No one truly cares
cares for me at all
so why should it matter
if a take an endless fall?

Pins have been placed
on the souls of my feet
as any rose could smell as sweet.

What would it matter if I committed
suicide, for I'm aching so badly
so badly inside.

As now I see you as I open
my stinging eyes
forgetting all those words
the words that once
seemed so wise.

Your calling out to me
telling me not to leap
but I'm sick of all the
nightmares I dream while
I'm asleep.

With my last breath I move
my foot over the air
and I let my body go
only hoping for a day
when someone would care.

I wave down at you
as I see those tear stained eyes
I wave down at you,
waving my last good byes.

As my last harsh thought
passes through my mind
knowing my soul has been set free
but now eternally wondering
if you would have ever died for me.
