I lost it again,
In the field
Across the street.

My memories are gone,
All gone.
No one could see,
See what I was about to do,
Do to myself.

I was prepared,
Prepared to say goodbye,
Goodbye too it all.

I said goodbye.
I'm prepared.
I'm ready.

I'm slipping,
Slipping over the edge,
The edge of the blade again.

This was deep,
Deeper than the last time.
But I knew,
I knew it would work this time.

This time no one would see,
See what I have done.

Take the last glance back,
The last glance at my old life,
My old life I was letting go.

I'm letting go,
Letting go of my life.
I'm slowly fading,
Fading from existence.

Sombody help me,
Help me before it's too late.
It's too late,
Too late to save me now.

Goodbye to it all,
All I once knew.
For what I didn't realize,
What I once knew,
Would be the last thing I ever know.

I'm always being asked to write things for people, and suicide was one of the topics I was asked to write about.
