The day was so calm and so ordinary ‘Till you climbed atop the library Sure of what you thought that you had to do You looked at the world with a bird’s eye view The day was the day that you chose to die To breathe the last breathe of your fleeting life Your decision was made and it was final Hiding your pain behind a weakened smile So sure that this world was not fit for you The fast-approaching asphalt was your last view Your mother, your father, your sister,and brother Crushed by the news that they have discovered Wishing that they had just one more day with you They’d show you the world from a different view They’d talk you down from that high ledge And bring you back from your life’s edge Now dwelling on what they knew impossible They cry and they mourn for you at your funeral You’re lying six feet under a dozen roses You leave us to deal with what you have chosen. Every tall building that we walk past Turns our minds to your last act We dwell in this state with a lack of closure This is how we live now that your life is over
