“Death III”


I am at school trying to find the one I love.
I see her at her locker.  I can feel the love.
I have gone through alot because of her.

She sees me and gives me the most terrible look.
My appearance and my looks is all that it took.
My sadness doesn’t mean a thing to her.

I ask her out and I’m waiting for the answer.
The look that’s in her eye shows ’no’ for the answer.
All that I want is just one chance with her.

She says, “I am sorry, but the answer is no.
You can never have your chance.  Just leave me alone!”
Now I have seen the end for me and her.

What did I do to deserve this cruelness from her?
I can’t even talk or be friends with her.
I can’t understand the hatred in her.

I am at my house wondering what I can do.
She didn’t even care that all my love was true.
My life is over, all because of her.

I can’t understand why she hates and dislikes me.
I don’t understand how her hatred came to be.
Well, I guess I can’t ever be with her.

I have almost died twice so far. Well, I’m not dead.
I can feel the lonliness from the words she said.
I can’t live with me being far from her.

I step out the door and I walk to the backyard.
Why did I have to be hurt so vigor and hard?
I don’t think I’ll ever understand her.

My friend let me use his gun for this occasion.
It was tough for me to make this big decision.
I’d never do this if it weren’t for her.

The sky above now dark.  I took my final breath.
I now pull the trigger that leads me to my death.
Now my soul will never have love for her.
