: idk, I just wrote this one day. not a true story, but I hope the message gets to you guys :

He sits quietly against the wall,

All alone in an empty hall,

Gun in hand, he knows he's sick,

But he just wants to hear the chamber click.


He looks up into the endless sky,

To every star he says goodbye,

He has never felt so weak,

A silent tear slides down his cheek.


He knows that she'll be alone,

The sister that he left back home,

But all he can feel is this endless pain,

And his tears begin to fall like rain.


His hands shake as he loads the gun,

As for bullets, he just needs one,

Running a hand across scars that line his wrist,

He can't believe he's doing this.


His silent suffering has to end,

Misery has been his only friend,

He thinks of the note by his door,

Explaining why he can't go on anymore.


It tells of the many reasons why,

He believes that he should die,

He begs his loved ones not to grieve,

Just because he has to leave.


He wants his sister to feel loved,

He wants his dad to know there's a God above,

He pleads for his mother to forgive,

He's so sorry that he can't live.


So he sits there all alone, 

In an alley with no hope,

He raises the gun to his head,

Hoping soon that he'll be dead.


It's then she sees him sitting there,

The boy with broken eyes and tussled hair,

She steps into the alley, her eyes shed a tear,

He looks up, arms shaking with fear.


She takes the gun from his hand,

And with her own, she helps him stand,

She locks this stranger in an embrace,

Her own salty tears dampening her face.


The boy, still terrified, hesitates,

Before giving into the girl's embrace,

Feeling broken and lost, he cries into the night,

He tells her that he can't win this fight.


The girl, not knowing the boy at all,

Whispers that she know's what it's like to fall,

She tells him how her heart aches,

Because she was once in his place.


Here, two strangers cry in darkness,

Both with battles against being hopeless,

She has won, and he can't fight,

She just wants to be his light.


The boy has never forgotten this,

The night with the girl he would miss,

He waits to find her just to say,

How grateful he was for her that day.


Angels are everywhere, my friend,

Angels are the reason why I'm not dead,

So if you were my angel, remember this,

I'll never forget you. I swear and I promise.
