You Saved My Life*

by Britini   Mar 15, 2007


I tried to hang myself but the rope came loose
I tried to take an overdose but the pills turned into sweets
I jumped in front of a train but the brakes came on
I tried to gas myself in my car but the engine wouldn't turn on

I tried to shoot myself but the trigger just wouldn't move
I tried to stab myself but the blade was too blunt
I tried to electrocute myself but the power went off

I thought to myself how useless I must be that I couldn't even end my life
I just wanted the pain to go away, a finale to all my trouble and strife
Then I saw your picture smiling back at me and realized its not time yet for me to join you on a cloud
I could then hear the shouting at me
You were yelling so loud
please stop shouting because your making me sad
I don't want you to be angry
I'm really not that bad

Then I felt you hug me and tell me its fine
You understand I'm in sorrow but to do it would be an awful crime
You tell me you'll save me a space on your cloud where we'll laugh and be ever so loud
So now when I go to bed and I kiss your photo I dint feel so sad and blue
You saved my life, and that I know is true
