A Funeral for the Weeping Girl

Would you notice if I died
Took a silver blade to these ivory wrists of mine
It's about time
Would you care if I leapt from the window
Not even noticing
The depth of this ocean
Where I plan to leave my final breath
Would you regret the lack of words you'd said that could have saved me
From suffocating

I recall the ceaseless fall that knocked the air out of my lungs
Even though I never hit that wall
Did you hear me gasping?
Maybe you didn't believe my relapse
Would you care now if I stopped exhaling the subtle comments
Your apathy's telling me to stop it

Would you attend my funeral?
Act like you barely knew this girl lying flat on her back
With wilted sunflowers covering her anxiety attack

Don't lie

Those words are as empty as the gun in my lifeless hand
Face down where I used to stand
Would you hug me tight before I closed my eyes
And entered death's night
Because I know you'll leave
And I'll only be some sad story you think of in memory
Death by self injury
