At The Ready

by Hailey   Nov 12, 2004


When The Days Are Getting Colder
I See The Scars So Clear
Line After Line On My Dainty Wrists
Each Tells A Story Of Fear

A Scar Just For Rape
Its Bigger Then The Rest
It Went So Much Deeper
My Veins Put To The Test

One For The Break Up
Suicide Just For Love
A Wish To Heaven
That Never Reached Above

A Nice Little One
Represents A Million Tears
If I Made One For Each
It Would've Taken Years

A Normal One For Pain
That One Is Here To stay
I Made It There For Ever
Because Like Pain Is Doesn't go Away

A Few On The Other Arm
For Allot Of Lonely Nights
After So Many Tears And Screams
Represents Resent less Fights

One Nice Clear One
For All The Friends Iv Lost
A Million Ones Would Show Too Much
But One Just Fits the Cost

One For Every Lost Smile
The One Thing I Miss
More Than Freedom Or Love
Or My Soul mates Kiss

A Few For Random Things
Suicide Attempts Gone Wrong
Bleeding But Never Dying
The Scars Just Tag Along

A Few I Wont Mention
I Just Did Them For The Sake
Ones For Every Day Lost
And Every Smile I Fake

An Arm Full Of Scars
That Just Wont Fade
I Can Cover Them Up
But Self Harm i Made

Just Like Little Memories
Little Pictures Alone On A wall
Each One Represents Something
Something I Lost Or Watched Fall

So Cover Them Up
For Just A Little While
Until A New One Appears
Just Wear This Smile

Maybe Tomorrow Ill Make One
Or Maybe A Month Or A Week
But Either Way It Goes
Self Harm Will come And Seek

So The Knife At The Ready
The Cloth Next To My bed
Left With Every Memory Floating
Which Will Be Scared And Read....
