Dead

A hollow nothingness consumes me
As blood streams down my arm
This is how I make the pain go away
By causing myself harm
Now I lay here all alone
With my demons briefly gone
From faint light my scars are shown
I wish I would have cut deeper, cut more
I want my blood to pour
Why am I such a coward
Why can't I just let myself die
All I want is to kiss this horrid hell goodbye
But I'm still here
Still broken
Still alone
My blood had yet to start clotting
I feel no fear
A metallic scent drifts toward me
Is it from the mountain of blades I have piled up?
Or the crimson red of the blood
That is now staining the sheets on the bed
My sight soon becomes hazy
Everything is a blur
It's getting darker by the second
I'm going to die. This time I'm sure
Finally I will be, nevermore.
