Let Me Go Peaceful

About a boyfriend committing suicide…
I told you don’t open your mouth
Don’t let it out
The secret I carry
Is only between
You and I

Don’t tell your mom
Don’t tell your friends
Don’t tell anyone
About my
Escape

Let me go peaceful
Let me go quick
As I put a gun to my head

Pull the trigger
Hope for death
While I smile
In my deep sleep

I think of all my problems
Of all my pains
Of all the people
Who stayed by my side

I think of all the times
Me and my girlfriend
Said…
I love you
And I want to be with you forever

We described our house..
Our children..
Our dreams...
Our life

And then I took
That path
That everyone must take
And my light was blown out
By the wind
Of my own gun...
Of my own life
