Six Billion Apologies

A thousand heartfelt goodbyes
Four hundred pools of tears
Three million warm embraces
Two hundred passionate kisses
Six thousand bruises and cuts
Six hundred fights and arguments

Six billion  apologies

I thought this was going to be easy
That my life would be the perfect one
But now,I sit here trembling
With hands wrapped around a loaded gun

I polished it so nicely
My reflection in it so clear
Placed the finest bullets inside
Without hesitation,showing no fear

I licked my dry white lips
Looked to the sky and said
"Why have you forsaken me?"
In a voice so cold and dead

I pointed the barrel to my throat
Swallowed once or twice
Then pulled the trigger silently
Saying my last goodbyes

SIx billion apologies

A thousand things unsaid
Three hundred unwritten tales
Eight million forgotten "I love yous"
Ten thousand unsuccessful suicides

Three confidants alone

Two loves gone horribly wrong

One crushed beneath the weight of it all


Six Billion apologies

I've said my last goodbye

So never look back,
Remember me not
It was time for me to die

    ok so this is really dark and if someone else wrote this than I would love it because then it would be someone that I don't know and don't care about. You have a lot of things going for yourself in your life right now. Sometimes it's easy to drown yourself in negativity but there is ALWAYs a lesson to be learned or an up side. I've been down and I think that you would be one of the first people that I would call if I was feeling like it was all soon going to be over. You can lean on me too anytime. That's what family and friends are for!

    jewels, you are not allowed to die without my permission, and you already know that the answer is HELL NO!!!!!! Everything will be fine, remember it gets worse before it gets better, and i believe that things have already hit rock bottom and can't get any worse, and the way it looks, tyheings are getting better, very slowly but it is, we just have to give it a little time, and be a little more patient, even though we don't want to! LOVE YA!!!!
