ICE to Beauty

I've been hurt
So, so many times

I felt like I couldn't love,
Like I couldn't trust

But I tried,
And the love was there

I set down my heart,
My secrets laid bare

Again and again they told me lies
Filled up my head so another would cry

"Mother, I'm sorry," I quietly wept
But no one heard, and so I leapt

From the cliff of darkness
To the pit of despair

And there, by the heartless, was I slain

My body formless, but my soul free again

Written September 15, 2018
Tell me your interpretation!
Written while feeling betrayed.

References a time in which I nearly committed suicide, which would have (theoretically) freed my soul from the pain of this world.

NOTE: If you find yourself feeling suicidal (like you want to die), or suffering from impulse caused by suicidal ideation which may lead to harming yourself, please, get help.
