Fade Away

by the one you forgot   Nov 8, 2005


Sitting on that cold tub tile,
Knowing I'm going into denial.
Denying that ever happened.
But it did,
And it kills me,
Knowing I want to die that badly.
Knowing I'm failing so sadly.
I got out the razor,
Looked at it closely,
Replaced it with a new one,
Less dull,
The depression starting to lull
Me into my death.
And it was new,
And shiny,
My knuckles turned white
Grasping it so tight.
And I wondered if it could cut me,
And slowly
I moved it up to my bare wrist.
And I pulled it away
And I knew that every day
Is harder and harder.
Somehow I knew that it wouldn't cut me,
But I know something that will.
It sits in his bathroom,
Sealing my doom.
A sharper razor.
And now I need to know,
Do I want to die?
What should I do?
Can I live here with you
And longer?
So I have to decide,
A big decision to make.
And the trip is tomorrow-
Should I drown in my sorrow
Or just let it fade away?
I know where he keeps it,
But it's a big leap to make.
Should I pack it
And let the razor hit
The bare skin on my wrists?
That's the question I face.
What should I do while packing tonight?
And the trip is tomorrow-
Should I drown in my sorrow
Or just let it fade away?
Biggest decision to make-
Decided today.
