No longer a burden

Creeping toward me
making me short of breath
calling my name silently
closer to me comes death

lying on the cold hard floor
surrounded by blood so red
almost deafened by my own screams
hoping, yet knowing that soon ill be dead

clothes drenched with crimson
blood still flowing from my wrists
face growing paler
wanting to pass on but still i resist

Loving the pain that I'm feeling
knowing that its freeing me
from this dark cage i am locked in
with death as the only key

closing my eyes, feeling that
ill pass and disappear
losing all emotion, all pain
letting go of one last tear

it rolls down my lifeless face
carrying my fear, pain and strife
i lay dead in the cold dark room
no longer a burden in anyones life
