Scarlet Tears: A collection of poems, stories and quotes about self harm

You Feel My Pain

I was so high, in the summer clouds

That even rumours couldn't bring me down

My wings were spread, I was off the ground

Until you turned my life around.

I wanted to be like you, with your long blonde hair

And your deep brown eyes, your skin, so fair.

You tossed me aside, you laughed in my face

And I ended up feeling like a disgrace.

But one October night, you changed my life

You showed me your cuts, lead me to a knife.

It seemed to be flawless, it erased all your pain

And gave you a smile as right as rain.

So, in secret, in the dead of night

When the silver moon cast an eerie light

I cut deeper and deeper with my blunted blade

I called out, I screamed, but along came no aid.

I found myself addicted, I was hooked on pain

It was a feeling I still can't explain.

I didn't know what to do, I started to despair

I had lost all my faith and no longer did I care.

Then along came my angel, my savior was there

With her pale skin, brown eyes and long blonde hair.

She came and cried with me, we both said sorry

Then she helped me, she loved me, she made it okay.

Forever I'll be thankful for my angel in white

Who came to me in darkness and made it alright.

I'll always be owing you, for listening and being there.

Thank you, so much, my pet, Clare (:
