I suck deeply on the tubular cigarette
I take more time off my already short life
I am waiting to die
I see the futility of existence
Yet I don’t want to die

I have scars up and down my body
I have scars throughout my mind
I have scarred my friends
I am waiting for the end
Yet I don’t want to die

I have a pain deep within, that doesn’t ease when I cry
I have hurt those that love me
That adds to the pain
I want the pain to end
Yet I don’t want to die

I sit here looking at the words
Contemplating the spelling
Wondering with they live forever
Will I be remembered
Yet I don’t want to die

I see the futility of all this
I see past the façade of life
I see the world as a harbinger of death
I see that I want no part of life
Yet I don’t want to die

I have hurt so many people
I wish that I hadn’t
I have the power to hurt them more
I don’t want to hurt them again
Yet I don’t want to die

I wish for someone to take the pain away
To be kissed that the fairy tale frog
I want to wake from this nightmare
And to live again
Because I don’t want to die

Not yet my friends
Not yet
