Second Hand (Revision of 2005's Haunted)

Folder: 
2008

I saw you do it

One simple glance

and I’ve sinned

I saw you do it

No one knows

but you and me

You tried to claw

your way out

but you knew

you wouldn’t make it

And I know

that you saw me

I heard you scream it

Loud pristine and

crystal clear

I heard you scream it

pour the guilt

right over me

And I never answered

I don’t really know why

And when you jumped

and when you fell

my name was on your lips

Don’t pity me

Don’t sympathize

Second hand murder

arm in arm with

Suicide

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This one is about not helping those with depression. You have to help before it gets to this point, if you can. So many suicides could be averted if people would only listen and intervene when the signs are right there.
