Tear Stained Angel

Tears stream down her face,
As she cries each and every night
She secretly wishes things would change
And her life could go right

The knife slides against her skin
She’s afraid to cut to deep
So she pushes it enough to draw blood
But her life she does not wish to keep

Her friends don’t know about her habit
She hides the cuts she makes
Secretly wishing her pain would disappear
Because her life she can no longer take

She’s self conscious
But can not explain why
She doesn’t know how she changed
She doesn’t know why each night she will continue to cry

Her mother and father are proud
That’s because they don’t know about her knife
And how it helps the pain to cease for a while
And how one day it will help to end her life

She writes out her confession
And tries to push in deep and end her pain
But she can’t do it
It cuts lightly against her vain

She rips up her note
So no one will know
And she continues on the path
She does not wish to go…
