Don't Do It

She stood there 

With a knife in her hand, 

ready to end it all. 

And I was just watching, 

not doing anything at all. 

It was like a dream, only I knew it wasn't.

She told me she would do this, 

Told me I had to choose.

Either way there was no winning.

I could have told someone,

But if I did 

The one I loved would forget about me

Or 

I could tell no one,

And have her gone forever.

There was no winning.

The pain I would feel if I lost her forever,

worse then the pain I feel now.

I know I could have helped her, 

and yet I did nothing.

I was just watching, 

not doing anything at all, 

as she stood there.

With a knife in her hand, ready to end it all.

My favorite line is either "She told me she was going to do this, told me I had to choose." or the "Ether way there was no winning." It seems rather fateful or fatalistic. Apart from the death bit, I love the sense of quick decisive nature of this person that I am getting quizzically
