Gone in Less Than a Second
Location
All of us have
known one or
two that
have tried
some of us
know so many
that when I
heard I just sighed
it's worse when
it's close; around
the bend
wishing you could
have done
something to mend
People will talk
gossip spread
around school
some are
supportive; others
are cruel
I guess you just
don't get it when
You've never known
knowing they're down
and your heart drops
hearing the phone
It's never ending
No - never goes away -
so know it could have
been anyone here today
know that no
matter what
you've gone through
there are always
people willing to
listen to you
