Permanent Solution

You never know how much something means until it's gone
The love you once felt will explode ten fold
All of you claim love as your own and no one can deny that
But the only person you love will take it all away
Sooner or later tears will be shed 
Violence adopted as a way of life for some
For the others who cannot stand to lose
Or truly loved their lost one
Suicide may seem the likely passage
A permanent solution to a temporary problem
However temporary can seem an eternity when in Hell
It feels good to cut but only for a while
Scar tissue forms and you only cut skin with no bloodshed
With no condolences I tell this
Don't say you're going to die
Just do it
But remember that eventually the wounds will heal
