The Fallen

My lonely heart can take no more As my wounds bleed on to the hardwood floor I feel the kitchen knife fall out of my hand And to the corner by the cabinets is where I land I cant believe what I have done I guess the darkness inside won I couldnt help it I was just too sad When I grabbed the knife I was too mad I lost my grip and cut to deep And now Im falling into a kind of sleep The pain feels like it's decreasing some And my body is going completely numb I wish I could say goodbye But now there's no time left to try I know soon I'll be crossing over But I know my stuggles will never truly be over

This is a terrific write. I really sense the death creeping into this person's soul...quite riveting.
