I took myself to the dark places Cold clusters of pulsing arteries Veins running red and ready to bleed Blade sharpened thin and ready to slice skin Every time tremors of this pain filled reality plagued me I took to these deathly fantasies That I imagined and tried to die But the razors were dull and rusty And I never had the strength to Cut through the physical pain The pills did not **** Only damaged my teeth and kidneys The only peace that came was when I slept Clenched tightly under cover and in between dreams When only nothingness reigned Little blackouts like small deaths comforted me
