I Would Now That I Know

You asked me that night.

If I'd take the knife?

If I'd take the bullet?

If I'd take the pain?

If I'd take the tears?

If I'd take the sorrow?

If I'd take the anger?

I said I didn't know.

But I do now.

For now you're gone.

Gone from this world.

Forevermore.

For you took your life and left it all.

And I cried as you died.

My tears falling to the ground.

As the rain started falling.
