Had some unfinished business

Waited for everyone to leave

Tie up your loose ends

Count down to the end

Realise your mistake when it’s far too late

Too numb to notice the knife in your hand

The cuts were too shallow so you had to hang

A family distraught but I can’t pretend

That I have the capacity to make any amends

Every night

I think of how

It must have felt

To leave a child

Lost about

To follow your steps

I freeze inside

And hope that I

Learn to cry

About this unfortunate

Turn of events

I know that I’m pathetic

Feel too scared to face my misery

Wish to be apathetic

Forget the past and make it history

I know that I’m pathetic

Feel too scared to face my misery

Wish to be apathetic

Forget the past and make it history

I would rather be numb

Than recognise what I’ve done

It feels unfair

But no one’s perfect

You know I care

But it’s my feelings you protect

I know that I’m pathetic

Feel too scared to face my misery

Wish to be apathetic

Forget the past and make it history

I know that I’m pathetic

Feel too scared to face my misery

Wish to be apathetic

Forget the past and make it history
