every silver line
turns red and dull
tell me if she tried
would you let her go on
for tonight i was alone
and made mistakes no one could forgive
it was tonight i loathed
for starting habits i could not forget
it went on and on
the dripping regret
today i committed a crime
but only one, that is
only one crime committed
and two promises broken
only three slashes made
but regardless, are still bleeding
and i am trying to hide
the things i have done
but they continue to line my skin
and cannot be undone
to this day i have scars
from march the fifth
to this day i have lied
about what happened
because to be quite blunt
that night i became paler
from the loss of blood
and my first time with silver
and though i regret it now
in that moment i smiled
this was a tragic day
because it was the day,
the world had yet another bleeding child
