I couldn’t eat anything but a few bites of chocolate
And more pills in between
And I needed all of it to stop.
So I tried ending it again
I don’t like things that hurt
Then I fell asleep hoping
That this peace last be forever
So I tried ending it again
I counted all my little pills
In groups of 5 so they wouldn’t feel alone
I sat alone with my cold dinner.
We cried together like friends at an airport
For all the time we spent together
That would never come back
It felt so final I left a note
It felt so final I called someone
It felt so final I had to proclaim my love
I woke up in a small moving space
Tired and disappointed and groggy
I’m fine. Just let me down. I’m fine
The needle wouldn’t come out
They shouted and yelled and snapped to keep me down
Tired of the 5 minutes of pity
Tired of the looks of misery
Tired of the hidden smiles
Slowly quilting my little joys
While I wait for the next encore
Hoping it will be the last
