It's Supposed to Be Romantic
there's this idea
that suicide is romantic
I don't think so
but what would I know?
I never loved anyone properly anyway
maybe it is
maybe there's something beautiful in it
in the tears and snot that drips down your face
as you clutch a bottle of pills to your chest
begging to someone, anyone
that you get up the courage to open it
and down them all
nobody checks your room
nobody wakes you up in the morning
they wouldn't notice until you were stone cold
you could do it
but you can't
everyone you talk to says that you should keep living
because of your family
who hits you and calls you worthless
because of your friends
who can't even remember your name
because one day you'll find someone who loves you
but that doesn't mean you'll love them back
not properly anyway
you never do anything properly
so maybe it is romantic
and you're just not doing it right
maybe you should press harder
when you drag a blade across your veins
maybe you should close your eyes
when you stand on the edge of a building
maybe you should forget you took your meds
twenty times in a day
maybe you aren't doing it properly
after all
it's supposed to be romantic
that suicide is romantic
