Crimson Breaths

by strawberrykiwi   Apr 6, 2005


Tired of this life I said
No urge to live no more
I can't take the hurt much longer
Need to end this pain for sure
My knife has been thirsty
The world must've seen this coming
Leaving all emotions behind
Towards death I keep on running
I don't hesitate to make the incision
I don't even feel the pain
But the time does seem to suddenly stop
As I question, am I still sane?
Last night I made peace with myself
Yet this madness encompasses my mind
I promised I would work things out
But my obsession has made me blind
What have I done Oh Lord?
Only yesterday You gave me another chance
Please forgive me, this isn't my fault
My insanity has me in a trance
Regret, panic and anger
All rush to me at once
Lord please say I'll be okay
Give me some assurance
This maybe my last breath
This maybe my last blink
Realizing this was a mistake
As I watch my blood drip into the sink
