Tears

My salty tears, they stain my skin
With sadness that has passed and been
And nothing more can make me cry

Says the angel in my mind.
"And peace will come
In due time."

thought you were
a waiting-to-be-written song
but you were just a lyric

And then White Winter fell,

The haunting breath of fall to quell.

The light’s last gleam, so soft and bright,

Was shattered on that frigid night.

I want a peaceful mind
that turns away from suicide.

I want life to be
my greatest accomplishment,
not death.

hand - handle
handle - hand

the fingers would close
around it to never let go
It had to have flesh around it
at all times

the blade naked

"The knife is more important
to you than mommy?"

"The knife listens. Mommy doesn't."
