lindsay birch - alonely suicide

by the railway lines she sits
with no-one but herself
slowly and deeply across her arms
with a sharpner blade she cuts

no-one around to see her pain
she suffers all alone
as the train approches she stands up
walking on the tracks

the driver acting quickly
slams upon his brakes
the train coming to a halt
stopping before her face

she didnt move
but stared at it
for she wanted to die
the driver now in distress

when asked the reason why
only one answer did she give
'i dont want to live no more
i really want to die'
