Time Is Running Short

Thoughts of suicide come to mind
As I sit here in silence a seat across from a friend
She does not know that her medication has not been misplaced
But is sitting in my work bag
Waiting for me to take them
Waiting for me to follow my plan of suicide

I cry alone in my heart
I cry in a place of silence away from everyone
Tired from a lack of sleep
My mind roaming all the time
I can't seem to get to sleep at night

My girlfriend talking to me and keeping me awake at night
She has her problems
I look into her eyes and tell her everything will be okay
But in my heart I have this bad thoughts
The thoughts of suicide
That will soon come true
What can I say to her
She knows it is coming she does not know when
She feels it in her heart
I am breaking her and I am sorry
But it is me that will make my fate come to me

My time is running short in a number of days I will be gone
No more of voice running through your ears
No more of my glistening tears running down my face
Time is running short and soon I will be gone
