On The Cutting Edge Of Love

by Ashleigh Skye   Mar 17, 2005


I can't believe what he told me,
as I sat and started to cry,
he told me how on some days,
he simply wanted to die.

Helplessly I sat and listened,
afraid of what to say next,
hoping and praying whatever it was,
wouldn't be taken out of context.

He told me how he cut himself,
just to ease the pain,
because if he didn't,
he would probably go insane.

So I let him pour his heart out,
and told him I would always be there,
if he ever needed me,
or if he just needed to share.

I tried to convince him,
that there was a better outlet for pain,
that he didn't have to cut himself,
just to feel a gain.

I hope that I got through to him,
so maybe now he'll give up the knife,
and maybe now he'll finally see,
how much I need him in my life.
