Live
for tomorrow
for each word
for each other
Pray
for you
for me
for the world today
Remember
you're unique
you're special
you're real
So
treat your body well
treat yourself with respect
keep yourself clean
Don't turn
to the needle
to the bottle
to the knife
I thought that
she was clean
she was happy
she was cured
But memory
says otherwise
dictates my life
ended hers
It didn't matter
what she said
what she thought
but what she did
She thought she
kicked the stuff
ended the pain
but it returned
You only get to live once
so live it
love it
but don't end it
We sat close
together
in the park
everyday
And every time, something happened
for me to fall in love
with her
in a new way
She was
young and beautiful
just starting her life
but the joy didn't seem real
She still had scars
not from this life
but from an old one
which seemed far away
It pained me
every time I saw them
every time I thought them
every time I felt them
So I tried to help her
with her life
change her ways
heal her pain
But in the end
she left me
with the scars
and with the pain
And after that
I found a new way
to die from the pain
each day
I found acceptance
in the needle
in the bottle
in the knife
And
each day
I found a new way
to end my life
