Don'T Leave Me Alone

I'm lying on the floor I can't stop crying I've locked the door I feel like dying My tears are still hot I want to see my wrist bleed I don't want it to clot Just poor at a slow speed Can you see my pain You can try to phone I found the perfect vein I won't stop 'till I see bone The blade, if I can reach I'll give in Won't practice what I preach I have to sin I can't move I can see the bone The blade, can you remove You left me alone *Written on May 2, 2012*

So sad and heart breaking, I really pray for you that the one you loved come back to you and both of you lived happily ever but if you didn t find him/her don t loose hope as happiness and grieve are part of life, however I m new on this site and would really appreciate if you could find time to read my poems and give your honest reviews about them as my poems are similar

Thank you for your words. I actually wrote this after my grandmother passed away and I was unsure of how to handle it. I was already self harming and I felt like I should have been on round the clock watch when this happened, it hit me hard.

You are never alone in this world although at times it can feel like no one cares. But you will find lots of people do. Stress plays a big part-loneliness another-thinking others don't care but the thing is I care when I read this poem. I care that someone is in so much pain and will go to extremes to ease that pain. I hope this is just a poem but if not my mail is always open. love phyl
