"I Tried"
I tried to stop him, I swear I did
Why didn't I succeed?
I told him a bullet's not the answer
But he no longer saw a need.
He was consistant in his decision
He had is mind set
I tried to make him realize
But he said his life was far too in debt.
"Please come to your senses" I begged
But he still refused
I wish my pleads were heard
Instead he made the front page of the daily news.
I told him that I would help him
And we'd make it through this
I remember him checking the safety
As I told him all the things I would miss.
I saw the frightened tear
And I wiped it away
He aimed the barrel at his temple
As he repeated , "I can no longer stay."
I can still hear the sound of the pistol
The echo of that silencing sound
I only hope that he knew
He was the only true love I've ever found. |
