Just a little mark
Barely a scratch
Just below the sleeve
Or maybe on the back
A little reminder
To take away the pain
Pain to kill pain
Dysfunctional brain
How many need to know
Before someone will help
Too many by my count
Whole lot of no help
The blade as dull
As the love in your heart
Emotions all jumbled
Tear you apart
A new blade will work
Shiny and bright
Oops this new mark
Wasn't so slight
Blood running freely
Tears sting your eyes
No hiding this one
Can't cover with lies
You panic and cry
Applying pressure
Your final thoughts
You lost God's treasure
No saving grace
No last minute hero
By the time they found you
Your heart rate was zero
The love you couldn't see
In your short young life
Is easily seen in our faces
Heart break and strife
You thought you were in control
You thought that you had it
But I can't help but wonder
Did you mean it ?
