If you ask me why
I'm not going to say it's because of depression
or because I hurt
I'm going to tell you the truth
It's because when I do it I feel alive
like I can do anything
It's gives that rush of adrenaline
to push me forward
When the blade hits skin
And scarlet red seeps from my fresh wound
For a second
I feel happy

I'm so close to the edge dear
Because no one needs me here
The blade will miss my skin
And I'll feel better from within

Please come closer
I wish to feel you near
I want to pull you beneath my ocean blue waves

she said she was fine
that she had stopped
stopped slitting her wrists at night
but she lied
she lied to get you off of her back
she's gotten better
at hiding the evidence
with long sleeves
and bracelets
she feels lost and unloved
she's alone
she's me

I looked into your brown eyes
And smiled
It was like a one night stand
But for my eyes
It may have only lasted for a short while
But I'll remember it always

I'm not wearing black
I'm wearing mirrors that reflect my soul
