I lay here and think to myself
Why?
I tried to kill myself on October 13 of 2015
I held the bottle in my hand as tears fell off my cheeks
They splashed onto the ground making a defining sound
I could feel my heartbeat in my ears
My blood rushing through my veins
The next day I was taken to the hospital
To my towns' mental health behavioral hospital
This is my second time here

I stayed for seven days
I made many friends
Together we helped heal each other
Just the three of us
We were unstoppable
They both have such beautiful souls
Neither of them deserve to suffer
I know they have suffered much more that I

Please understand I will always love you
No matter what happens or how far away we are
You are my family
And I am yours
Someday our paths will cross
The stars will be aligned
And the full moon will hang low
And we will finally be together
As one

I want to thank you both for what you've done
Not a day goes by without either of you dancing through my head
Like little sprites in the deep woods
Both of you mean the world to me

I'm going to stay alive
I promise I will never hurt myself again
Never, ever again
