Just One More Cut

Just. One. More. Cut.

she thought that was all

just one more sliver

and all would be solved



but the pain was addicting

she couldnt escape

she believed in redemption

enclosed in the blade



the cuts how they blead

dripping crimson release

and with a look to the mirror

sees a girl with a creed



To never admit this

to never reveal

the only release now

is with silver and steel



Her worries are worthless

her cries go unheard

and with each passing moment

she feels more despair



The daylight it dwindles

till moonlight appears

the darkness it covers

the sorrow filled tears



She stares at the slivers

the gashes too deep

she looks to the razor

as eyes shut to sleep



just one more cut

was all that she plead

but she took it too far

and now she is dead
