Your words pelted me like knives.
I've tried it once, twice, and trice
I'm starting to wonder if I have nine lives

Deep, ever-lasting scars go up and down my body
I always feel like a nobody.
No one cares if I live or die
So I'll let the blood pour down my thigh.

Darkness covers my eyes
And I look at it like it's a prize.
Dead, the line went straight.
This has always been my fate.

I'm my own killer, so close the case,
Once and for all, I'm finally done with the chase.

Kiss me with your razor blade tongue.
Let your lips press against my throat, for they are like knives.
Let your scissor hands slit my wrists.
They tell me your heart is made of gold but your soul is made of onyx.
Dance your fingertips across my skin in one's hope of love.
But darling, you could never love.
You're heartless.

Tears made of memories cascade from orbs shot red.
Twinges of sadness lace throughout her veins.
Blood red memories splash against her cheeks;
It’s the perfect shade of crimson.

Were I able to take a scalpel
to my mind
and hack you out entirely,
believe me when I say,
I would do it in an instant.

I'd let that small sad part of me
that still wants you back
and has a heart,
that skips to see you,
drown in the puddle of blood.
I'm so ready to move on. I'm so tired of missing this terrible person and I can't stand myself and thinking about it anymore.
