More

She holds the razor,
A piece of broken glass.
He's looking for a saviour
To fix his broken past.

Everything she's been through,
All the lies that he's been told-
Every single "I love you,"
Now the world seems cold.

She picks up the knife,
He's poised to pull the trigger.
She's given up on life,
And his problems keep getting bigger.

She's just another broken heart,
He's just another dead guy-
But more than that, her life is art,
And he was the little boy who thought he could fly.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
