Blood Red

The blood flows upon
My cut and broken skin
From a river of veins
Pulsing from within

Like roses so red
Their petals so soft
Giving me comfort
When i feel helpless & lost

My knife-my best friend
Who causes this sweet pain
Helps me through
When i feel insane

As I'm standing on the ledge
Bustling traffic below
I look down, I'm so high up
Should i let go?

And let myself fall
So fast through the air
As if I'm flying
And the crowds below stare

But no, i whisper
Too easy for me
I need to endure more pain
Before i can be free

So once again
Crimson blood is spilled
The pain races through my body
But desire remains unfilled

I feel the blood trickle
Slowly down my arm
I dig the blade deeper
Causing more harm

I make no attempt
To stop the steady flow
Not this time
Its my time to go

I feel so weak
As I'm drained of life
So much damage caused
By one slash of a knife

My surroundings are spinning
Out of control
And i feel like I'm falling
Down a never ending hole

My eyes are getting heavy
Starting to close
The last thing i see-
My blood as red as a rose
