You lie there in that bathtub
Oblivious to me
You tear and hack at your skin
As nothing ever mattered
Angry, screaming, fighting
Thats all you ever did
Slamming doors and cursing
No end to your tirade
"If she does it one more time"
Was all that I could say
Cries of pain and agony
The bandages you wore
Yet not a tinge of sorrow
Was felt inside my heart
How could you let her see this
Her eyes were far too young
But did you care
Your selfish b***h
NO, NO, NO
I hope that you are happy now
With all of the attention
You are not fooling me again
Let the sirens blare
I've washed myself of your selfishness
Goodbye is far too kind
Author notes
This was important for me to do, after mulitple attempts to take her own life my mother though unsuccessful is still a hurtful pain.

This was an amazing write and powerful. You could feel the emotion behind every word you write. I ma sorry you had to go through what you did. I have had my best friend try to commit suicide on many of occasions and its one of the hardest things you have to deal with because you don't know whether next time they will succeed.
Thank you for this amazing write and good luck in my contest.

YOWZA!!!!!! This was beyond words!!! Your pain and sorrow over this came through loud and clear!! Suicide is such an ugly thing and it just wreaks havoc on the loved ones left behind. I am glad that she was not successful but am so sorry that you had to suffer thru her botched attempts time after time again. My heart aches for you my friend... This was just so brutually honest and I hope that one day she gets to read this and takes it to heart...Maybe than you will get an apology..
