Torniquet

I stood in the corner of darkness
holding my heart far from me
feeling the coldness inside
watching a closure of misery

I remembered when you held me
the love we can't resume
and as I lay here, dying
my pain will soon consume

There was happiness, once
but that was long ago
something is forming inside of me-
keeping the life I'll never know

Although this loss is fading
I can't stop what has begun
the blood is pouring from my wrist
and I am letting it run

It takes me from this world
takes me from the hate
I know there won't be a goodbye
now that it's too late

I'm writing this only to you
as I'm dying here
all that I held close to me
you washed away with fear
