I know how this ends
Violent words with sharp edges
Cutting through a fragile mind
The poison of loneliness
Never one to be kind
Towards a beating heart

I know how this ends
Thunderstorms and hurricanes
A waterfall of thoughts
Echoing through his head
Where once music played
Now there’s screaming instead

I know how this ends
Never mind how it began
He knows not what he’s doing
Too numb to make a plan
It’s himself he’ll end up losing
Unless you offer him a hand
