Manipulate Me

2008

Don't waste your time

writing suicide notes

Don't call me to talk about

the tears you made yourself cry

Don't roll up your sleeves

and laugh at how you think

you cut so deep

Don't threaten me

with abandonment

Don't say that I don't care

Don't tell me that you're worthless

or you're lonely

and I should be there

Don't lie and say you want me

Don't lie and say you love me

Don't tell me I don't know

the pain you feel

Don't write another suicide note

Don't even pick up the pen

I know you don't know how

to pull the trigger

I know when you're standing on the edge

you can't bring yourself to jump

And in all honesty

I've let you go

I've given up

Author's Notes/Comments: 

About those people who continually threaten suicide for attention. I've tried saving people like this before but they're too content to wallow in their pain that they won't listen. I've given up. You can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved.

I know a person like the poem just describes and i understand how infuriating it is. The poem was good because I instantly related to it. The mentioning of the pen and the gun helped the imagery too. Keep up the kick-ass work.
