Would You
November 8, 2008
When I was crying a river,
Holding a knife to my wrist,
Would you stop me?
When blood fell into a pool and I
Became lifeless,
Would you want me back?
If I said I was sorry,
Would you listen?
When I held out my hand for you,
Would you take it?
When I begged you to come,
Would you?
When my heart stopped,
And all the pain left,
Would you care?
Would you notice?
When the last rose wilted in that
Pool of blood,
Would you pick it up?
Would you?

I love this poem. It's so sad. You're such a great writer. I'm very impressed. I think this was a great work of art! You should submit it to Teenink!
