(Old poem I wrote, hope you like)

Standing outside in the pouring rain, cutting my wrist watching it bleed.

Wanting to wash all the pain down the drain, funny thing is that I cant feel it anymore.

I've gown so numb in the past years, from the stab wounds on my back to the memories narrated in whisky.

I have my hand out drowning in a sea on depression, like in Hollywood movies I slowly sink in.

Breathing in the water slowly feeling my lungs

I promise i'll find a way to the shore, no matter how bad it hurts.

The darkness is closeing in

Then I see a small light, something small that beams off my glasses like the light of a million suns,

I run as fast as my leg could take me,

Only to find a lantern low on flame.

I take the small gleam from my eyes, to feed the flame of life

Just a bit longer it will have a flame,

I had saved someone,

But at what cost?
