In the land of angels and demons
Most angels with the purest soul
Have the darkest demons
Inside their minds
Waiting for the right time
To trap you in your own head
As I bleed
As I drag the razor across my wrists
Over and over again
Crying and drowning in my tears
I think about what I've done and how I feel now
I feel so good
As I drag it across my wrists more and more
Loving the pain and sudden rush it gives me
As I bleed more and more my mind loses it
I do what I will regret for the rest of my afterlife
As i cut my wrist one more time
I let myself bleed out as I lay in my bed
And then I close my eyes and see darkness
I'm gone
As I still bleed..
She lives in a world of lies and shattered pieces
Constantly telling herself that everything will work out
That it will be alright if she can just hold on
When she knows in her broken little soul
That the only thing that will mend is the hearts of those around her

Truly she knows how deadly her mind is to herself
The fake, comforting, band-aid thoughts that fill her with dread
Taking over when she's alone and crying
Those white lies that she almost believed in
The one she almost trusted, stabbing her in the back

The delicate rose inside of her withering away with dehydration
Life being ****** out, replaced by a poison of the worst kind
Doubts filling her head, clouding her judgement
Forcing her to do unforgivable things that she'll never forget
The thorn in her side pushing her again and again

They say you need to bleed to know you're alive
And although she has bled, she's still not sure
Wishing it was all just a nightmare, a lie of a dream
Again with the lies, she'll never get away
She runs and runs but they always follow her

All around her she sees the broken pieces of herself
Reflected back at her sobbing figure through cracked mirrors
Lighting bouncing off and hiding away
Hiding from the girl who sealed her own fate
The girl who knew what she was getting into but couldn't stop

The girl who is me
--
I have been
Writing love poems
For years
And
They all say
That I'm in love
But
Never did they know
That
I'm yearning for love
Secretly
Yearning for your love
