Stop Trying

Mon, 01/27/2014 - 21:50 -- oliviah

You cut your wrists

To cut your life short

You swallow the pills

To swallow your fear

You stop your breath

To stop the pain

The cold water may offer you reprieve

But it will only cause me suffering

You keep trying

But you never succeed

You keep on living

Because it's not your time

Not for a long time

Stay
