Handshake
Step one: High five
Step two: Lock the thumbs
Step three: Slide hands so they're facing each other
Step four: Make a two fingered gun
Step five: Bang
It happens so fast, and by the time I realize what I'm witnessing,
they are laughing and smiling
and inviting me to join
and I look at their still pointed fingers
and I pray for them
But I also pray for myself
That we all have strength and that
we will never make the worst mistake
It's not "Just a suicide pact"
It's not "Just for fun"
In case you haven't noticed, you're both depressed
In case you haven't realized I am too
In case you haven't heard about
that girl from our school who killed herself
Let me be the one to enlighten you-
It's not just a handshake.
