Leave Me Room To Breathe

I sob to myself

All alone into my hands

As my demons call to me

Over and over

Speaking my name

Giving me ideas

On ways to kill myself

Ways to get rid of the pain

I reach to my bed side table

My hands shaking as I pick the two up

I flick on my lighter

And light my cigarette

Tears still running down my cheeks

As I bring it to my lips

I breathe in pain

And breathe out sadness

All I want is for the pain to be gone

To have my demons

Stop toying with me

I snuff out my cigarette

And grab my razor blade

Drawing it across my skin

Slicing open my arm

Letting the blood fall to the floor

Cuts running up and down my arm

I pick my cigarette back up

And light it again

I bring it to my lips

As I sigh to myself

Words ringing through my mind

Tears still streak my cheeks

As I lay back against the wall

And I close my eyes
