Final Words

My steps fall softly
as i walk to the door
the blade in my hand
falls to the floor

as i peer out the keyhole
the house is empty
i pick up the knife
and drag it across my wrists gently

pressing down hard
until the sight of blood
watching it drip onto the floor
as to my room i trudge

thoughts of you
through my mind the quickly race
as i grow weaker
my body slows my pace

the door knob
cold to the touch
the blood keeps pouring
this is all just too much

the door swings open
i slump into my bed
climbing under the covers
as dizziness runs through my head

the sound of a car
flows into my bedroom
it sounds like you
but you came too soon

you use your key
and open the front door
you had a rough day
and couldn't possibly take any more

i hear you calling
shouting my name
you wont understand
why i had to end this pain

the light of my room
reflects off the blade
i didn't think first
about the trail i had made

your steps grow nearer
as you follow my path
you open the door to my death bed
and see my lying there in a blood bath

i am still alive
I'm not dead yet
as i look into your eyes
i remember the day we first met

you race over to me
crouching down by my side
i cover up my wrists
the cuts I'm trying to hide

i see a tear drip down your face
as you give me a kiss
too bad for you
i have just lost feeling in my lips

you hold my hand
i being to feel the icy breath
of the grim reaper creeping upon me
the frozen touch of death

a few final words " baby, i love you"
and i am forever gone
all i wanted was for the pain to go
so those slits are what i had drawn

my eyes roll back
and for once i feel free
no bad thoughts
no one can over power me

and i look back upon you
i realize what i have done
i watch you closely
and wonder why it is you haven't run

is it because you have love for me
if that is i don't know why
i loved you in life and after death
i told you but i never got to say GOODBYE
