I'm Sorry Family

Her will to survive dangled by a thread

If she had been a minute late

Her daughter would have been dead

His laughter clung to years that passed

If he hadn't heard the dog whine

That breath would have been her last

The younger sister watched in pain

She tried to tell her "I love you" 

But all efforts were in vain

After the hospital she returned

To pick up the broken pieces

and mend the bridges that burned

It could never be the same it was

Everyone died a little inside

that's just what suicide does

She made a promise to them all

to never stop fighting for her life

to get up every time she falls

 

Because she can never bear it

To hear her family cry together

Simply because she chooses to quit
