Dark

Here I lay in the dark
Thinking about how badly my life has fallen apart
Wondering how to end the pain
How to make it all go away

Here I lay in the dark
Grabbing a blade making sure it's sharp
I make a face as the pain begins
And feel as the time begins a slowing tick
An easy descent the blood flows down
And soon I feel like I'm not going to drown

Here I lay in the dark
And feel the cut begin to leave a mark
Now my scars are stories told
And my life has begun to be my own

Here I lay in the dark
Deciding how to leave my mark
I feel the pain slip away
And sleep whisks me away

Here I lay in the dark
Thanking myself for death's depart
Suicide is the case
Because my life has become a broken vase

Here I lay in the dark
Seeing no more
Hearing no more
Feeling no more
Wanting no more

Here I lay in the dark
Because suicide finally did its part
