What if I died?

Who would care?

"I care," you lied.

The truth's not there.

Blood spills down

As the blade cuts skin

My nerves are so tightly wound

And I fall into the grip of sin.

In dizzying spirals

The world falls apart

The pain spreads, it's viral,

And I gasp with a start.

Biting my lip

And erasing the pain

Makes me want to tip

And drive in the wrong lane.

Blades can't erase

The pain underneath,

This dangerous chase,

And nonexistent relief.

Madmen's insanity

Brought about this curse

With a string of profanity,

The pain gets worse.

Drowning in air

I claw at my throat

To escape this despair,

To heal the heart that broke.

I can hardly see

And my breathing is scarce

This is not me

This is something rare.

Blood spills down my arm

As the final cut is made.

No further harm

Can come to me in the shade.

My vision blurs

The world stops

My screams are not heard

And I drop like a rock.
