CRIMSON EMBRACE

Inside, eternal hate is burning
It won’t ever go away
I think of ending my life
Right now, on this very day

My friends try to help
But they just tell me what to do

All of these feelings and emotions
Are washing away my control
With nothing to stop me
I sit here all alone

I yearn to cry
But I have forgotten how
I want to end it all
Right here and right now

The thought of pushing up daisies
Is running through my head
I need to go lie down
End this pain in my own bed

Like a blanket that’s too small
I try constantly to make my life more satisfying
I try harder before I give up
Even though I know nothing is better than dying

I think about what will happen
And what will come to be
As I sit here in my empty room
Scribbling this poetry

I’m not sure how this will end
A tear runs down my cheek as my soul breaks free

Warm liquid flows from my wrists
While I lie here thinking about the last moments of life
Then the traces of a smile creep upon my face
As I lie here in my crimson embrace
