Broken

As the knife carves into my wrist
As the belt tightens around my throat
The pain is increasing
But so are the flashbacks
You hurt me
You took all of me
And gave me back a broken heart
So i am slicing away my pain
Choking away my hurt
I am dead
Maybe if i never met you i would still be alive
But no
I am dead
