once upon a winter day
Shawn Nov 2013
once upon a winter day
i took my pen and paper pad
and wrote down every
unspoken word in my head

it  saddened me to see
how many there were indeed
is this how things would be
if i had just let them free?


once upon a winter day
i sat down with a cup of tea
and couldn't help but
stare at the scars on my wrist

they remind me of how i was
and how i still am
how i've changed and
how things have changed


once upon a winter day
i said goodbye for the last time
to my friends and my foes
to those i held dear

i was slowly fading away
just like my scars
i walked home alone again
knowing it was time to end my stay


once upon a winter day
i wrote my last words
on one last piece of paper
maybe now i'll be heard

i took my pills again
more than i should have
but it's okay because
this time i'll find peace

a waltz with death
Shawn Oct 2013
a waltz with death
a dance with the stars
as the last breath
leaves my lips

i wish i had never left your arms

— The End —
