Tear Jerker

By Liath

Tear Jerker

I love you baby
You've turned my soul
From it's original state of shady
You illuminate my life now, which was as dark as coal.

You give me reason for living
Really, you make my heart keep beating
I was getting really tired of competing
With my conscience, it had been whispering to me about quitting

But now that I'm with you
I can't even imagine doing that to you
If I could die and come back to see how it effected you
My grief from your sorrow would cause me to do it again

Suicide I mean, yah that's the word
Horrible I know, but I've tried it before
Two or three times, it never worked
But now I know, that I'm lucky I didn't succeed

These feelings I say are my gospel I, I swear
Whenever things get tough for me I know you'll be there
For me, and me for you. I love you baby, I won't live without you.

Reading this, I bet, will make you cry
Just know that it's okay, that's what I want
Because tears are marks of joy, sadness, or pain
Joy for the fact that you know my words are real
Sadness for the thought that I might not have been here much longer if it were not for you
And pain for what you'd feel if I would do it now, because you'd do it as well.
