I write out of sheer beauty
I write out of sheer pain
I write out of great loss
I write out of great gain
This pencil is my knife
The paper is my skin
I write my letters deeply
Turning a bloody scarlet red
What once was write
Now stained black
The heartbreaker's heart
Always has at least one crack
I write for my sanity
I write for madness too
I write to harm myself
I write to please you
Cutting paper
Breaking pencils
Crumbled hearts
My body's stencils
They sit and wonder in fear
Lonely poor me
No one loved me hear
Cut the paper deeper
Sharpen your pencils just right
Smile and take a last breath
This is the writer's last night
Crying alone
Don't make a sound
If they hear you
They'll beat you into the ground
So soft hushes
Remember your silence
Is the only thing they can't take away
They say "Kill yourself"
They say "Then the world may be a better place."
And they cry
It was their fault
You're no longer here
Your silence still lives on
But I'm stuck here with your ghost
And your spirit is now gone
