Wish I Found You Differently by Delaney Lindley

Couldn't believe
The shock going through my mind
I can't get over
The fact it was me
Who found you

Eyes stilled
Blankly looking for the hope
That was never there for you
Lips stilled
No longer gasping for the air
You wish you could breathe

Called two days earlier
You almost drowned me in your tears
This isn't your home;
It hasn't been your year
Different states we were in
Said I'd be right there
Told you not to go yet,
I told you that I cared

You said you wouldn't go
You said "I'll wait right here."
It took me four days
To get over there.

Four days,
Two to get money
One to go
One more to find where you laid
Whether you were to stay or to go

Hospitals make me sick
I've spent enough time there
I never get good news anymore
I lose too many people there
I Never thought you, too, would go
The symptoms were there in the end
But I guess it never showed

I know it's cliche
I wish you were here
Maybe I really could've changed things
Maybe you'd have a few good more good years
I guess after the time you start to lose sight
Of people in your life

But after being ignored
It seems too much now
You decide to punch-out early
And take your final bow
But sometimes I wish
I wouldn't have found you
I wish I could have my last memory
Seeing you alive
Instead of cold and still
In the corner of the room
Friends shouldn't say goodbye like this

And yet I can't help
But cry myself
I should've been a better model
This death wasn't marked for you...
It wasn't your name on bottle.

~In loving memory of Kristen. Wish I didn't see you like that for the last time.~
