The Razor's Edge
Softly you trail down my skin
leaving traces of blood hwere you've been
like silk you ease whatever ails me
your my salvation from fear
my hope when there is none
you are my eternity, my window
into the future
although in reality
there is no future for me
you break chains that bind my torn soul
insdie these walls of pain...
you cut at the thorns
tearing them away
so that my path towards death becomes much easier
the slice of the blade helps ease my troubled mind
feeling good as the blood slowly trickles down my
white flesh, like poison.
the depression eats at my soul
leaving nothing behind but scars
my scars let me know help me to remember that
death has all to often crossed my mind.
