Carve your name into my arm,
People don’t understand my reasons for self-harm,
What I have to face everyday,
How I love you more in every way,
Red tears form on the floor below,
For no-one but me to know,
I look at the photo beside my bed,
And the screams get louder inside my head,
You look so pure, so unbroken,
I whisper words I left unspoken,
For you to hear in the darkest hour,
When I have gone, and you have the power,
When you realize what I went through,
My heart so weak, broken in two,
After that day, you read my suicide note,
The one I left, in which I wrote,
Just after we broke up, when I was crying,
As you never realized inside I was dying,
You were everything, couldn't you see?
You were all I had left inside of me,
That little bit of love you gave my heart,
Kept me alive from the very start,
But you took it away again,
And this is where it all has to end,
No more cutting, no more pain,
No more slits upon my vein,
Scars that don’t fade rest upon my wrist,
From that moment I slit, down with a twist,
I love you more than you will ever know,
But you don’t understand, so this is why I go,
My reasons for leaving will become so clear,
But the more I want it, the more I fear,
Lips tremble in the coldness of the night,
This is it, I give up with the fight,
I lift up my sleeve and stare at the last slit,
I want this over, this is going to be it,
Just above my vein right now, I can see,
The memories you gave shall stay within me,
So deep, so painful, so strong,
It will be time, when I will be gone,
But something makes me stop, and I look ahead,
Whisper the words I wish you had said,
Something’s standing in front of me,
A shadow of darkness that I can’t see,
It comes closer, if only I knew…
Then I realize, that dark shadow is you,
You take away my blade from my fist,
Look me in the eye, then to-wards my wrist,
Taking my hand, we slowly walk away,
And I prey so bad everything’s okay,
You’re with me now, I can get through this,
Because if I went, it would be you I miss,
You kiss my lips, and tell me everything’s alright,
And so we walk, slowly into the dark night.
