I long to feel a stinging on the surface of my skin.

The red turned to darkness is what I yearn to see.

I want to see the lines across my wrist,

made with the blade i just can't resist.

I need to see the blood seep from my body,

making its way along to a puddle on the ground.

I crave to see what should be inside exposed to the world,

bright and red with the tinge of blackness.

I thirst for the taste of iron, the metallic bitterness.

Why can't i shake this, why do i need this.

Someone come save me,

save me from myself.

I need to be free,

free from the world.

How could they understand,

why would they want to try.

Alone is what i am, and forever shall be.

Me and this blade in this darkly lit room.

Dragged from one side to the other,

the protective surface slowly opened.

I hunger for this release,

my troubles seem to drift.

But even when they healed,

the scars are all that's left.

Everything i was running from is still there where i left it.

So please anyone i ask you, what am i doing to myself.

No one can help, no one can save me.

This will forever be my destiny.

No escape, alone forever.

Me and this blade in this room together.
