This girl called Rosie is wants to die.
And I dont think much could change her mind.
Yet, still I do my job so she wont jump off our multi-story car
park.
And shed see her life is precious if only shed come out of the dark
Well, Ive got to do my job,
Along with the rest of my team.
What lives in that girls head.
I never want to dream.
She said that I **** with her head,
When I stopped her the other day.
And so I had to call for back up,
So they could help me pull her away
I asked her if shed been drinking, and she said no,
But I knew she had, because it smelt in her breath and throat.
So she went off with our threat to leave the premises,
But I didnt think she would, so I walked round just to check.
And indeed, I found her leaning against a concrete wall,
She watched me as I passed and I moved on feeling small.
But soon I turned round and went back to her,
She was holding her head, looking all hurt.
I told her to leave the premises only she wouldnt go,
So we had a small argument yet she kept repeating no.
So I threatened to call uniform if she didnt move on her way.
So she looked at me teary eyed,
And asked if Id care if she put bullets through her brain
She moved onwards a little, but not any more.
Then she stared at me and began cutting into her arm.
I watched her as she did this but I wouldnt go near.
I just repeated to call uniform, if she didnt disappear
So she walked off round the corner completely out of sight.
And I stood there wondering if she was gonna be alright.
And then I heard someone screaming, a twisted and loud scream.
And I knew I had to do some thing, but I didnt check to see if it was Rosie.
Instead I phoned the police, so they could sort her out.
I dont know much about Rosie, but she really does need help
So I just stood and waited until uniform arrived,
Ignoring the fact that Rosie could simply slit her wrist and make her-self die.
And she came out of her corner, only to stare at me,
But when she saw 2 coppers she turned and ran away
And so we chased her and she ran down a dead end.
Then the police talked to her again and again.
Then they said that I could go and that theyd take it from there.
But she turned and faced me with really messed up hair.
And then for Jason, she gave me a note.
It was written in a poem, and about how she has no hope.
