This was Not an Accident

This was not an accident,

This was not from a pet.

This was not an accident,

You just don't know it yet.

This one was from the very first time

I heard that awful name.

This one was from that terrible night,

I hung my head in shame.

This one is my ex-best friend,

A loss I couldn't take.

This one is my long lost love,

I did it for sanity's sake.

I can act,

I can be smart.

The only thing that doesn't smile

Is my pitiful little heart.

This was not an accident,

I had reasons for taking it this far.

This was not an accident,

I don't want you to see this scar.

This one was from the loneliness,

This one from the stress.

This one was for no reason,

Although I hate to confess.

This one is my worst enemy,

This one is purely him.

Here I was standing on the edge,

Toes barely touching the rim.

This was not an accident,

But I'll keep saying it so.

This was not an accident,

But you'll never know.
