Cough syrup Red Leaves you dead Cherry Filled with kodine I leave a note filled with Tears & love This is not your fault i reapeat Over And over like a catchphrase After I have written my last words I sneak off into the darkened bathroom The shadows in the corners Amplyfiying my anxiety and the darkness in my head The emptiness of my bed After a moment of hesitation I bring the bleach bottle to my lips the mint smelling liquid burning away the skin on my soft lips I hold the liquid on my tongue Oh how it burned Oh how that first drink burned I sip two more times Two more times The flesh of my tongue Lips And throat Raw I cough and gag I walk back to my room Deafeated I am not dead Suddenly as I sit in my lime chair A red gleam catches my eye Cough syrup prescribed to me Months ago Three teaspoons gone from it I unscrew the cap Guzzling down the vile liquid The smell, and taste enough to make me gag I down half of the poison Letting it purify my insides I smile for the first time in days Finally free from Burdening all who care for me I stand my body diminishing from the inside out My once pink insides Now dyed a ****** red and happy Happy to be rotting After a few agonizing hours of awaiting to become a rotting corpse i stumble to my kitchen and examine my mom's set of knifes Each one has sharpened teeth designed To cut me open like a tender cut of meat My eyes gleam in childlike wonder as I try to pick which one will slice my veins I choose one like a kid choosing candy Selective and critical Finally i pick one and slide it quickly d across my wrists I am shocked at how much blood comes pouring From my wounds But i quickly become addicted Addicted to my blood Addicted to the pain Addicted to the thought of my death After several cuts I walk to bed to see if I can become a corpse in my bed When i awake I am dissapointed and relieved all at once Relieved to be alive Disappointed to be alive Over the day my sticky red insides Reject any nourishment Expelling any of it through my mouth My thoughts run a mile a minute I find myself unable to focus on anything My muscles feel ghostly cold Meanwhile my skin is boiling hot Once my mom comes home Rushed to the hospital Ordered not to fall asleep in the rumbling car But all my tired brain And sticky red insides want Is a permenant Eternal Happy Sleep But i was never given that sleep That oh so sweet release Water was washed through me to get rid of The toxic red in my system Now my insides are pink and truly happy again Happy to not be rotting and decaying Happy to be alive
