Peaceful Slumber

A silver blade across my wrists
A knife buried in my side
As the tears spill down my cheeks
My thoughts then turn to you

You once said you loved me
But I guess it was a lie
For now you turn away
Whenever I walk by

I miss the way we used to laugh
I thought I'd finally be happy
I told myself this year would be different
That no one would hurt me like before

But here I sit on the floor
A beautiful red river mixing with my tears
The will to live has left me
My hearts aches for the end to come

Can you not see at all
Or do you just choose not to
The hurt inside my soul
It's trapped me in despair

I long for the day of silence
When the darkness closes in around me
I will hear no more lies
And gone will be the pain

You make fun all you want
But you are the reason that I cut
You are the reason for my wounds
These crimson stains, marking me

So as I sit here on the floor
The decision is finally made
I will take the final step
To a dark but happy place

Round and red, they rest upon my open hand
The tears spill down my cheeks
I wish that I could brush off words as easily as you
But I cannot let them go

You are the reason for my pain
These tears are spilled for you
You are the reason I cry alone
With no one else to turn to

You don't understand
And I'm so tired of the hurt
So now here I sit
A glass of water in my hand

It tastes cool and refreshing
Washing away all the hurt
I sit here and wait
Crying alone, all because of you

People cannot see
How much their words affect
But here I wait as the darkness closes in
I welcome it with joy

Gone is the hurting
Gone are the tears
I'm in a peaceful slumber
For forever and beyond
