To begin turning to the blade after years not cutting

To once again see the blood start flooding

To know a friend is suicidal and you can’t fix it

It’s enough to send your emotions in a fit

To need to feel pain just to feel better

To punch walls and see your knuckles get redder

To want to help someone but not being able to

It’s enough to completely fuck with you

To have the image of her scars printed in your mind

To recognize she’s ready to leave this world behind

To not know what to say, to not know what to do

It’s enough to turn your mind into a zoo

To see that single scar on her wrist

To know that she just couldn’t resist

To realise if she’d cut a vein that would have been it

It’s enough to send you crazy, thinking of that single slit.

To know that she’s getting professional aid

To know that all that’s helping is her blade

To fee hypocritical for wanting her to stop

It’s enough to make you want to cry nonstop

To sit at night waiting for the call it happened

To realise you’ll be uncontrollably saddened

To know those horrible feelings, you will never forget

It’s enough to fill you with uncontrollable regret.

To know you’ll have wished you’d done more

To understand your heart will forever scrape the floor

To already feel regret for not knowing what to do

It’s enough to kill all happiness through

To not know how to help her emotional bitterness

It’s enough to make you feel utterly hopeless
