Line By Line
His pain,
Etched across his arm,
Line by line by line by line by
line
Over and over and over,
Slashing the flesh that binds
him to this earth,
Line by line by line by line
The words echoing,
Words that are heard and never
forgotten cut him slowly to
pieces
Line by line by line by line by
line
"Nobody cares!" He shouts,
Reaching for the help in hopes
that they were wrong, that the
words were wrong cutting him
Line by line by line by line by
line
They are there for the girl who
everyone knows, but not for
the lonely boy who is slowly,or
quickly dying inside
Line by line by line by line by
line
But I am here for that boy, the
one who wants to escape from
the cruel grasp of life, that has
mercilessly tortured him
Line by line by line by line by
line
I am here and I'm not leaving
even as they cut you line by
line by line by line by line by
line by line
I am here for you and I
will be here till the end of time
