A Sharper Image

deeper deeper goes the blade where it stops its destiny cant be made. deeper deeper if i let it, it will right now it's my one and only true thrill. i can't stop it, but i know i must i am losing all people who i do trust. as i go further further into the dark how can i get out with it making its mark? i hide it inside so no one will see red is not my color, no not for me. after awhile it no longer causes me pain but after awhile it is i who is slain. deeper deeper the blade will go the dark red silver it now does glow. i must break free from this awful bind but sadness is my weakness that i must leave behind. give me strength to let go of the pain if i fail i shall never be the same again. don't let me drown in my bloody reflection but save me and let me know not of rejection. deeper deeper i went too far i was weak and left a permanent scar. lay me down gently gently please do for i know my pain is now finally through. you failed me but i failed you as well i couldn't fight the urge to rebel. the metal now lays still on the floor and there it can stay and hurt me no more
