This Knife

by Lyla   Jun 2, 2005


As I cry a river of tears
And try to run from all my fears
As i hold this knife
Not wanting to live this life
Hoping you will understand
I didn't kill myself for any man
I did it for me
So it would set me free
As i watch the blood drip
I bite my lip
Waiting for this pain to stop
My soul the devil has now bought
With my thoughts i have kept
I think about the life i have now left
All the pain
All the hurt
All the betrayal from that stupid jerk
Now i slowly slip from life
With the help of this knife

    I liked the whole thing and keep writing. Check out "Her Last Kiss" I think you'll like it. It is sort of on the same wave link as your poem here. Thanks for the read. Rbmo401.
