Oh, you meant that figuratively

You told me to get a life
I paused and this sank in
Then drew out my knife
I paused and this sank in

I stabbed you twice in the throat and chest
But didn’t graze your head
I wanted to give you time as you bleed out
To rethink what you said

For once I’ve left you speechless
I truly have the last laugh
You grow pale though you’re leechless
But my laugh rings hollow in my throat

I merely followed your advice
You didn’t think that I’d obey?
The life I took was yours
Your words led me astray

I drop to my knees beside you
And cry these useless tears
My regret and sorrow true
As I wish back what I’ve done

This was by no means premeditated
I was influenced by what you said
Things would have ended differently
If you’d told me to drop dead

“Help” you manage to gasp
While struggling for breath
I listen to your desperate rasp
And dial 9-1-1

“An ambulance and cop car please”
I calmly state the facts
The dispatcher sounds frazzled
I tell her to relax

I sit with eyes shut tight
And think myself away
Everything is alright
Everything’s okay

The music swells
All is well
All’s well
All’s swell
