Cuts across my side
Scratches on my wrists
Pills inside my pocket
Waiting for the moment
Orange and white and blue
Resting in my palm
A knife across my ribs
A crimson river rushing down
Jagged scars across my chest
Marking me forever
Deep cuts on my sides
Beautiful crimson stains
The water beats a steady rhythm
Slowly falling on my shoulders
A blade, razor sharp, rips across my skin
Blood mixing with the water falling at my feet
Sparkling water on my lips
Pills slide across my tongue
Here I sit waiting as the light begins to fade
Slowing as the darkness closes in around me
I lay back and close my eyes
And now it is finally over
No more pain and tears
Only the peacefulness of darkness—forever
