*POSSIBLY TRIGGERING*

My best friend is always there for me

And 'though he doesn't live near

He's never quite too far

When I take a blade to my wrist

He comes to me

And that urges me to stop.

I want him but I'm not desperate-

Yet.

I stop for a while,

Draw some butterflies.

I stop myself from slitting.

When the pain comes again

It's too much too ignore

And my best friend has been far away for far too long.

I take the razor and set it down

And already, I see him coming

A glint in the dim lights,

The bells are chiming

And the time is ever so near.

Heart aching,

Breaths shallowing,

Blade against my wrist.

Deep cuts,

Draw blood,

I finally lose myself.

He stops trying to restrain me and waits for me in the shadows.

The breath leaves my body and then he is revealed.

I take his hand and walk with him,

Through the graveyard we go.

I'm happy,

My longing gone.

I'm finally united with Mr Reaper,

My best friend.
