Secrets of the Fallen

*trigger warning*

Lines written upon your skin

Deep inside the dark is where you've been

for you feel as though you are drowning 

and you try and try but you are no longer breathing

All your life's stories criss-crossed on your skin

some scars visible, some are too deep within

You are past the point of no return

You feel as though you'd burst into flames and burn

to cope with all these sensations, you use your skin as a drawing board

Story after story,  line after line, nothing else you can afford.

As you come to realize what you'd discovered inside yourself

You decide to end everything, including your own self

For however many years you have roamed this earth

you, yourself no longer see a point, no longer see your worth.

So you write a note, or leave a message to the ones you love 

Saying you're sorry and you're going to be an angel watching from above

After you're done, you look up at all the stars in the sky

You inhale your final breath and you silently whisper "Farewell and goodbye"
