Were you alive?

Police line tape shields you
Darkly lit skies are above me
I wonder who you are
And why this was your final act
I wonder now where you are
Why this was the path you took...

Why did you do it?
Why did you decide to take your life in your hands?
Weren't you scared?
What would I have done were I you?
Would I have done the same as you?...

Did you cry with your head in your hands?
Did you take the time to understand
That this life isn't always perfect?
I've been there before,
But never as far as you
Were you still alive? Did you fall to the floor?
Is it better on the other side?
I wish I could've known you
Try and steer you away from that darkness...

Did you think of those who would cry?
Or are there any that would?
Did you ever see the light?
Was this always your plan?...

Was it worth it now?
Worth the darkness you felt?
Did you find redemption near the end?
Do you wish you were here?
My heart is aching for your departure,
Have you ended all your fears?...
