Concrete, Blood And Glass

This is about my cousin who committed suicide when his girlfriend killed herself. He broke up with her, but then she fell off the place where she worked and so did he.
She told him all her secrets
She told him all her lies
She told him everything she did
And still he broke their ties.

Now he's sorry he didn't listen
Sorry he let her go
As he looks upon the body
Of the girl he used to know

He didn't think she meant it
When she said she would fall
"That won't happen," he said
"You know it won't happen at all."

People begin to crowd them
Giving him the blackest glares
"It was an accident." He whispered.
As he gazes at the stairs.

He climbs the steps 1 by 1
As he thinks of the happy past
When he reaches the top, slips over
Into concrete, blood and glass.
