Nightmares and Razor Blades

I stare at my ceiling,

I start to wonder, why am I not healing?

Then it dawns on me,

The nightmare clip starts to roll.

I shake and shiver and wince at every little thing.

I'm scared to death,

What does this all mean?

I start to cry,

I feel as if I might die.

Then I grab my blade,

The tears come quicker.

My breath starts to quicken,

My grip on the blade makes my knuckles turn white.

In the mirror is where I see that my ivory skin is now blotchy and red.

I tell myself, "This may be the last time, if you finally cut deep enough."

So I try my best not to make a sound

As I sit up in bed and hold my wrist out in front of me.

I count to three,

One,

I put the blade to my wrist.

Two,

I start to add pressure.

Three,

I yank the blade across my skin,

It pierces and then I start to bleed.

I suddenly want it to stop,

But there's no going back now.

I wonder why it came to this,

I know nobody cares about me,

I know nobody is going to forget me.

Quietly I say, "I'm sorry."

But nobody is there,

No one will ever be.

I start to fade out of this world,

My addiction would finally be gone,

And so would I.

I was lost,

Lost and angry.

Suddenly, it was gone,

I woke up screaming.

The pain was oh-so real.
