Red river

by Lyla   Jun 1, 2005


I can no longer live this life
of sadness and betrayal
I cry a river of tears in which I drowned
And as I scream for help
People just walk right on by
Not thinking a second thought
Yet I keep screaming
Louder
And louder
Still nobody listens
Why won't they help me?
Can't they hear my cries?
Or do they just not care?
Or even notice
Soon the river dries up
And I continue existing
Yet not living
So as I put this razor across my wrist
A red river flows
And as i drowned
I don't cry for help
I just hold my arm with the pain
My eyes slowly become heavy
As I slip
Into Everlasting peace
