Cut and Bleed
Rippling water
Smooths my tears
Silk and thread
Ribbons and lace
Sooths my deepest fears
The darkness swallow's the sun deep
And my heart nearly burst from all the secrets I keep
The silver lining I hold to my flesh and slash
Leaving a huge gash
Scarlet blood seeps through my veins
Hoping to eventually bleed out all of my pain
My thoughts consume me
Torn open and stitched back together as best as I know how to be
What's better then saying goodbye
As I choke down my heart and cry?
Coming back just to leave me again
A battle with depression ill just never win
Go on....say it...say it again
Leave me
I'll fend for myself
I'll slowly let go of my health
Promises are like roses
Keep them alive and strong
Only to slowly die
So I've got trust issues
And you all wonder why?
All the times I've fallen to the ground
My face in my hands and no one there
Maybe I was scared
Out of fear for what I could do to my own worst enemy
And still you left me alone with me
I watch myself
................Cut and bleed
Let it bleed, let me fall away
