Analysis of Dump-Date Suicide
Jase Lucero Pinski 2003 (Great Falls)
I remember I dumped you on that one date
Two years ago I said that I would be your soul mate
I told you we would always be a pair
I told you as I held you that I’d always be there
I love, I’m sorry, there’s always another guy
Your yelling, your screaming, you keep asking why
You run into your house with tears down your face
Ripping off your dress, tearing at the lace
I hear you crying from outside
I said the words soul mate I’m sorry I lied
There is a sudden scream and the crying stopped
My face faded of color as my heart dropped
I ran to the front door which was evidently locked
My hands slipping on the doorknob as I was mocked
Right then and there I knocked down the door
I don’t care if I have to pay money I don’t care anymore
I ran to your room going over stair by stair
I open up the door to find nobody there
I searched the house, every inch
Fingers slammed in the doors but I didn’t feel a pinch
I opened up the restroom door, your lying in the bath
I was standing there right then waiting to feel your wrath
I love you girl I said but you don’t even move
So I ran to you gathered you up in my arms and felt every groove
I love you girl please answer me, please girl please
Then I saw the blood running from your wrists to your knees
I said to myself why god why god me
I’m hurting really, really bad can’t you see
So I take out my pocket knife and slit my wrists too
Cause if I’m going to die tonight I would want to die with you
