It All Comes Down To This

One closed room…one razorblade…one girl who just wants to feel and is willing to 
go over the edge…
I have always loved the sight of blood. Like the way it felt and liked the different 
ways I could produce it…being whole isn’t always the best. Especially when you are 
leaking out nothing but the feelings produced and wanted. I want myself to be 
leaking out without any possible way to be saved.
I am alone…have been for awhile. I wanted just a limited amount of “alone”. Now 
the amount I have is unlimited…I don’t care…why the heck should I? nobody cares…
Words are like razorblades. They cut into you deep and leave you scarred…but 
one’s just invisible…emotional…and the other is what makes you remember it with 
many detailed visuals…physically…
I am not alone..for I am walking along these dark, shallow, cold streets in the hands 
of death…for he knows me and accepts me for who I am, what I do, and to whom I 
have hurt (nothing new)…he leads me into this place which holds silent 
screams/cries…and the puddle of blood (fresh) on the floor, thoughts went through 
my head…I am here…I am home
Death is my friend…my guide..he leads me into the place of every persons 
dreams/wishes…he isn’t as bad as they say…he grabbed my hand…stopped the 
blood from leaking out of my forearm…and wrists…he invited me to a place where I 
can bleed all eternity without being stopped… 
At least he understands me and wants to help…

Elizabeth, it was heart-rending reading your poem. The voice I heard was that of a bleeding heart and an agonized soul. I hope pouring it out and sharing the feeling will make you better.
