Wait and See

I slit my wrist to erase the pain,
You look at me every day, and obviously think I'm insane,

My eyes turn red, bleeding my tears,
And still I don’t want you to protect me from my worst fears

Look at my scars then you will see, 
Why I can't seem to go around and faking happy,

Yet you tell me you love me, that you'll forget,
For I'll soon be gone, and it would be my worst regret

So let me die, broken and scarred,
I can't deal with life; it's getting far too hard,

Everything’s gone wrong; it's not worth trying,
So leave me alone because I feel like I'm dying

Please, I want nobody to worry
Because I was gone in a hurry

Please wait and see, Just think how happy I soon will be

Sweetheart please choose life, the pain you would leave behind would be immense. You say "Everything's gone wrong; it's not worth trying." But wrongs can be righted and I promise you when life is good you'll realise that you were glad you tried. Hugs to you.
