"Do me a favor?" I whisper, my voice harsh
"Anything." you look up at me, tears in your eyes.
"Catch me"
I lean off the slippery bridge rail
I can hear you scream my name
Far above me
I crash hard into the sea
The cold water engulfs my body
I try to breathe and the liquid invades my lungs
Weighing me down like chains
My body grows heavy as the icy waters numb my nerves
My consciousness slowly fades
And just as fast as I fell
I'm gone

I'm always so tired
I never want to put effort into anything
I just want to lay in my room
Cuddled up in my blankets
Lay in silence
With clouded thoughts clogging my mind
My depression is eating me alive
And I just sit here and let it

Your skin is stained with scars of your own doing.
Your makeup runs down your flushed cheeks.
You've tried to escape from this world full of pain.
But each time, you've been saved.
By someone who wants you to stay.
Someone who loves you.
There's someone watching over you, someone I don't believe in.
Telling you that you need to carry on.
So stay strong and keep marching.
And I will be here to catch you, when you trip and fall.

There's something about you
And I don't know what it is
You make me feel safe
You make me feel loved
I could talk to you for hours
Just talking about nothing
I could say the weirdest things
And you'd just go right along with it
There's something about you
And I don't know what it is
But I like it

I'm trying to accept
That you have moved on
That you just left me behind
For some beautiful girl
I really hate
That you don't love me any more
But there's one thing
That's really going to crush me
The second I see
You and her together
I will fall apart
And will not be able to be put back together
Tears will fall down my cheeks
And my muffled cries will be heard from afar
I will bleed on the floor
And pound on the walls
Just leave me alone
And let me die on the inside

Do you ever get that tingling feeling in your skin?
Where you need to take a blade to your skin to make it stop?
Does your head ever get cloudy?
To the point where you don't know what's right and what's wrong?
Do you ever want to take your own life?
By hanging by a leather belt?
By swallowing sleeping pills?
By slicing your wrists?
Do you ever just want to be gone?

She's an angel with broken wings
She's ready to jump, but she can't soar above the clouds
She's an angel with a halo as black as midnight
She spends her tired nights drawing crimson on her skin
She's an angel whos beauty I can't fathom into words
She's the love of my life
She's an angel who lights up my world
She's my best friend
She's an angel

I roll up my sleeves
And show you my scars
You hold my hand
And kiss my skin
You tell me you love me
And that you'll never leave
You make me promise
To never hurt myself again
Tears well up in my eyes
And I whisper to agree
Thank you
I love you
You're my best friend

In a room full of people, my eyes will always search for yours
But every time I look at you, I cry for you are not looking back at me.
Oh how I have wished your beautiful eyes to gaze on me so that I might smile again.
How I wait for those eyes that sparkle like stars and your smile that could melt the coldest snow.
How I wait for it to warm me.
How I long to have your arms wrapped around me.
Your breath hot on my neck speaking those simple yet complicated words.
I hold each breath and wait for you to say them those three simple words.
And then your breathe catches and you speak, but only a whisper. "I love you"

he sits in his room
alone in the dark
tears in his eyes
a silver blade in his sight
everyone's asleep
no one to hear him cry
his voice softly whispers
his own lullaby
"hush little child
don't go to bed
'cause then all the monsters
who live in your head
will only just hurt you
until you are dead."
his mind goes cloudy
as the metal touches his skin
he whispers to himself
"alright monsters, you win"
he carves deep and carves hard
his warm blood pouring out
he bites his lip hard
as he tries not to shout
he wraps himself up
after the bleeding has stopped
"it's final." he whispers
"i've just given up"
"i'll write down my note
and say my goodbye
i won't tell them my story
but i'll sing my lullaby."

Tear stained eyes
Love stained lips
I'll kiss you goodbye
Under this starry night sky
"I'll see you in heaven."
I whisper under my breath
"Shh, don't say that. You're not going yet."
You smile and kiss my lips once again
"Goodbye, I love you."
"I'll see you again."

You cry to me about all of your problems
I try and help the only way I can
By telling the truth
Your problems aren't that bad
No one has died
So, a guy doesn't like you
Big deal
Trust me, I have bigger problems
So, now you're done?
Alright
Fine
I didn't need you anyway

My skin is a canvas
There for me to draw
When the voice consumes my mind
And the blade begins to call.

I’ve tried to stop myself
From doing what it says
But my hand acts of its own accord
Drawing out the red.

I say that I am better
That I won’t do it again
But there’s a demon that lurks inside
Hidden behind my grin.

It tells me I’m not good enough
That I will never succeed
And it makes me draw the ugly lines
From my hips down to my knees.

I’m sorry I’m not perfect
Or who you want me to be
But in truth the person you’re looking at
Isn’t the real me.

My tears stain the pages of my farewell
Ink smudges against my skin
I sign my name at the bottom
Besides a "Goodbye"
I read over my words
"I love you's" running across the lines.
"Please dont cry." smudged on the sides.
"I'm sorry." written everywhere.
And your name is placed carefully in between.
So this is my farewell.
I love you.
Please don't cry.
I'm sorry.
Goodbye.

Swallow the pills
Slice with the shining silver blade
Silence your screams
Say goodbye
