Maybe Death
The knife against my wrist,
It feels so cold like ice,
But the warmth of my blood,
Seeps out the sides in the first slice.
It caresses my body,
The feeling surrounding my every muscle,
Calming me.
But then you came.
The pain slowly came to a halt,
The blade disappeared,
The blood stopped flowing, it’s own small vault.
I felt my eyes open,
For the first time in so long,
The calmness of the pain leaving my body,
And turning into pure happiness that it could never feel wrong,
A warm cloud encircling my body,
Your presence all I need,
When I feel the pain arise,
Again like the times before,
All I need is to look into your bright brown eyes.
Never again am I afraid,
To worry about where life will take me,
You pulled me out of a world of black,
And now I’m just plain happy.
I will never let you go,
You are my hero.
To my true love,
I will never let you go.
