Internal River

Suicide

Even though they cannot see
the river flowing through me,
it reminds me of the pain
and the things that I can't be.
No matter what I do,
no matter what I say,
they rip away my life,
they try to throw it all away.
I know they think I'm worthless
and the future that I live for,
but they don't seem to realize
that I'm farther from the shore.
I need a boat to save me,
I'll get too weak to float.
But do they really care?
They most definitely don't.
I care about a lot of things
and everyone I know,
but there's just one person of them all
who helps me stay afloat.
They can slash at my spirit,
they can tear at my soul,
but at least I can forget
that the river water's cold.
Many days I'm happy
but many more I'm not.
This one person's always there,
it really means a lot.
Thank you very very much
but the river's flowing fast.
I love it that you're here
but how much longer will I last?
The deeper that it rises,
the weaker that I get,
until I get too weak,
until I need a rest.
I'm too scared to let go
of all the hope that I have
that soon I'll escape
and then I can laugh.
But the longer I wait,
the farther my sanity sinks,
til I can't reach the surface
and there's no way to breathe.
There's no one to notice,
not even you.
I really didn't know
this would come so soon.
I love you, I'll miss you
forever on,
I hope that they're happy
now that I'm gone.
