My Hero Prt1

by Amy   Sep 20, 2004


I was all alone
I didn't know what to do
I was feeling so depressed
I needed to talk to you

I picked up the phone
Your number I dialed
Waited for you to pick up
Crying softly all the while

It kept on ringing
I was losing hope
I threw the phone to the floor
I just couldn't cope

I went to the bathroom
Closed and locked the door
I grabbed a razor
And sunk to the floor

I sat there for hours
Staring at the glint of the blade
Then glanced at my scars
That will never fade

And as the tears rolled down
And lingered on my cheek
Emptiness was all I found
For the comfort that i seeked

I took out some pills
The doctor had prescribed
Artificial happiness
It just tore away at my pride

I took out a mirror
And stared at my pathetic face
Then threw it hard against the wall
Glass shattering all over the place

I stood up slowly
And tore that razor across
I felt so alone
Felt so unhappy and lost

The blood overflowed
From my pulsing veins
The pain didn't surprise me
It always felt the same

Suddenly i heard
My name being called
And my knees felt weak
As I leaned against the wall

Someone was banging hard
Against the door with their fists
But all I could think
Was will I be missed?

You put all your weight on it
And burst open the door
Then grabbed my razor
And knocked it to the floor

You wrapped your arms around me
And softly stroked my hair
Holding me so tight
Apologising for not being there

You gently wiped away my blood
And bandaged my arms
You were so hurt and upset
That I could cause myself harm

You just held me so close
And listened while I cried
Kissing me softly
Promising in you I could confide

You looked me in the eyes
And said don't forget I love you
I hugged you against me
And sobbed I love you too.
