Secretive Suicide

By Anybody_Killette

If I were to slit my wrists
would I be the one to blame?
If I were to die today
would you remember my name?

If suicide was the question
and I answered it with a knife
If blood was the only memory left
would you remember me in this life?

If I didn't leave a note
and never told you goodbye
If I had never confessed my love
would you even cry?

If I were to slit my wrists
would you ever be the same?
If I were to die today
would it cause you shame?

If suicide was the question
and my answer was yes
If blood was the only memory left
would my memory be a mess?

If I didn't leave a note
would you pretend it were a lie?
If I had never confessed my love
would you question why?

If I were to slit my wrists
and returned from where I came
If I were to die today
would you be their to claim?

If suicide was the question
and the answer wasn't no
If blood was the only memory left
would my memory be your foe?

If I didn't leave a note
and if I didn't try
If I never confessed my love
would I really die?
