Suicidal Lover?

Suicidal Lover?

We were in love, the two of us.
We once were happy, so carefree,
But now you seem so far away
As if you hate the sight of me.

You say our love is over now?
But I can’t live without you near!
My life will be so meaningless.
I’ll end my pain, you’ll see, my dear.

How shall I go when I do go ---
A razor slashed across my wrist?
Can I accomplish it alone,
Or should I call you to assist?

How shall I go when I do go ---
With a whimper or with a bang?
A potent poison, swift and sure
Or knotted noose from which to hang?

How shall I go when I do go ---
A step before a speeding truck?
No, that won’t work. The driver’d swerve
And kill HIMSELF, with all my luck.

How shall I go when I do go ---
Perhaps I’ll light myself aflame.
And when you see my charcoaled skin
I guess you’ll know who is to blame.

How shall I go when I do go ---
I know! I’ll jump into the sea
And sink beneath the blue-green foam
With hopes that you’ll remember me.

But wait … what am I thinking of?
I’ve done no wrong, YOU are the cad!
You don’t love me? Well that’s just fine!
You’ve lost the best thing that you had!

It’s over now; I feel so free!
I guess I didn’t need your love.
I worshipped you, but now I see,
It’s ME that YOU’RE not worthy of!
