jonathan connor's death note

While the world did nothing,
            I tried to survive.

Scraping a living by
            scraping gum off for a dime.

I tried to end it all –
            almost robbed a bank,

but I was afraid –
            for myself and of you.

What would you think of me,
            reduced to this crime

all I wanted from life
            was to be together – you and I.

But maybe you’ll see me
            on the local news,

and you’ll remember something
            that you never gave me:

a chance to be with you.
