My heart is broken
The knife calls for blood
And blood I give it
It starts out slow
Shallow, barely nicking the surface
Then the pain kicks in
And the blood begins to flow
Deeper
Darker
Redder
M O R E
All I hear is the hollow echo of my heart
As my life runs down my wrist
Now it's slipping through my fingers
Pooling on the floor
I made sure to lock the door
No one can save me from the brink
Not this time
I smile as the pain disappears
As the numb sets in
It's a watery smile
One full of suffering and sadness
And it's the last thing I see in the mirror
As it all goes B L A C K
