Red Coloured Water
With tears streaming down her face
She sat knees to chest on the cold bathroom floor
She sobbed so loud in an unstoppable haste
Her back against the hard cool door
She rose up and headed to the small wall cupboard
She took her dads razor and cried even more
The locked the door and filled the tub
She slit her thighs and winced as her skin tore
She repeated again and again as she heard her heart thud
She carried on and soon the floor was covered with blood
She slowly entered the overflowing bath
Her mind asking why she had to feel such wrath
She took the blade and muttered a sorry
She slit down her wrist embracing death and all its glory
She did the same to her left wrist as quick
All the pity was that the right hand was weak
She dropped the blade and leaned her head against the tap
She was tired of the world and all her crap
She began to breath and it was ragged breathing
Each breath she took seemed like her heart would stop beating
She closed her eyes and was taken into pure darkness
She smiled one last time and closed her eyes
She was tired and sad and had decided to fly
Away from the nonsense and all the fights
Thats why she decided on committing suicide.
