That knife hurts. It aches, as you push it past my ribs, and into my heart.
Blood fills my chest. I feel heavy, like drowning. Who thought, that you of all people, would do that to me.
Ouch. Why would you betray me like that, and so unexpectedly? I was happy, and then you took a blade.
But it’s okay. My chest swells. I’ll be alright. I might burst. I deserved that knife.
The blood has no where to go. Feels better than empty lungs. My world turns red. Blood drips down my cheek, and I see you walk away, through drops of red.
I know you’ll be back, and that scares me. I see no reason not to run away. Then you would be gone forever, but so would I.
I wrote this poem during a really hard point in my life where I was experiencing depressive and suicidal thoughts. I hope this poem does not resonate with anyone but if it does, I hope you feel less alone.
