The empty feeling was sweet relief
After all the months of pain
A hollow shell was better than
A whole person
Filled to the brim with aches and troubles
And submerged in misery
Release came from
The glint of the silver edge
And just a little sting
But too much
Too fast
Sent my head spinning
And though they have long since
All but faded from sight
If I could go back
If I could erase
These ugly scars
If I knew
I would never have let myself
Get lost like that
