Unexplained Tears

Unexplained Tears

And I wish I hadn’t shed them

Thick beads of blood

Am I sorry that I bled them?

 

I know it’s cowardly

And I wish I’d been stronger

Endless cuts unnoticed

The pain only seen after

 

Why, I’m asking,

Do I find strength in knives?

Stronger alone

Don’t want to win or survive

 

Stainless steel against skin

And the pain, it distracts me

Gone are my fears,

I feel the impacts on my body

 

Electricity running,

Nerves are warning my brain

Slash a couple more

I drop the knife, crying that I’m insane

 

Who can save me?

I’m the abandoned, the unwanted

Prayer on my lips

But I’m a sinner, my life wasted

 

I shiver, eyes blurry

And call out, who is listening?

Just darkness surrounding

I’m numbing, skin crawling

 

Unexplained tears

How I wish I hadn’t shed them

Out trickle beads of blood

Am I sorry that I bled them?
