My world is crashing down around me
Blood dripping at my feet
My home came crumbling down
No one here to be with me
No one to hear me cry
Again doing what I know I should not
Hoping it will work this time
But the pain keeps building
Tearing at my weak heart
I’m coming apart at the seams
Breathing is getting harder
Waiting on the darkness to retreat
But the black only get blacker
I keep holding on although
My arms are getting weak
I lose my grip
The darkness encloses
I bleed fiercely until my heart stops.

My world is crashing down around me
Blood dripping at my feet
My home came crumbling down
No one here to be with me
No one to hear me cry
Again doing what I know I should not
Hoping it will work this time
But the pain keeps building
Tearing at my weak heart
I’m coming apart at the seams
Breathing is getting harder
Waiting on the darkness to retreat
But the black only get blacker
I keep holding on although
My arms are getting weak
I lose my grip
The darkness encloses
I bleed fiercely until my heart stops.
