TW: self harm, abuse

Some light must leave these bloody tunnels
One day, I pray
That you
Will go away

Every thought
Returns me back to you
Cutting through me day and night
Pressing down with all your might

You gave me hope
A newly found freedom
Then you stole my hands from me
As if I was going to try to undo your lock with a key

You were my best friend
You allowed me to share with you
All my pains
Then you, did nothing, but make the blood rain

I loved you
I made sure you knew that everyday
And in return you told me
To make sure I slit my wrists over a drain

Context: this is written about someone who I considered to be my best friend at the time despite the fact that they made no effort to help or stop me from doing things, instead they encouraged it.
