Always Be

Wed, 02/11/2015 - 12:19 -- Ramona

There will always be someone... 

As you run the blade across your skin, one last time. 

As you swallow the last pill. 

As you sink into red filled bathtub. 

As you place the gun to your temple, or under your chin. 

As you run out in front of that car. 

As you jump off the bridge. 

As you kick away the stool. 

Someone that is screaming your name, 

Shouting every word that crosses their mind, 

Cussing out everyone that might have made you do it, 

Crying until they can't cry anymore, 

Begging for you to stop, 

Begging for you to come back. 

There will always be that someone. 

I know. I really do. 

Because I've been that someone. 

For people that think they have no one at all. 

I've been there. 

Screaming. 

Fighting. 

Crying. 

Calling. 

Doing everything I can. 

Just to hope that they stay with me. 

There really is always be that someone... 

Even if you don't think so... 

I promise you, 

There is.
