There is a lot going on here. I like how you make it such a very sad story here and then you just seem to fade away. The imagery is very dark but I think it works well because of what you were trying to say. Overall I see this again as a life that is slipping away from happiness and now they cannot cope with life and they slip away with addiction. Maybe with the knife. I like this again because it's very personal to you and it makes the readers haert cry out. I love stories that make ypu want to save the character. Well done!

Simply excellant, really hit a nerve
