Die Lonely

I walked around the corner
Trying to catch a break
The emptiness around the theater
The reflection of the heartache

I sad down against the building
And told myself not to cry,
That soon it’ll be over,
I’d tell myself a lie.

Summer breeze against my skin
The scars that will show
My veins throb so very much
More than you’ll ever know.

At times it feels like you’re there
Still dragging a knife through my vein.
I shuddered at the thought of you
And the memory of the pain.

Suddenly, I feel your presence
And my body turns rigid
Your hand slides across my wrist
As a reminder of what you did.

I shake uncontrollably then,
There’s nowhere I can hide.
The tears that will not stop
Come from deep inside.

My stomach goes to knots
Do I have to go through this again?
My body feels icy all over
When will I see the end.

The rain begins to fall
And replaces these silent tears.
He can’t tell I’m hurt inside,
And can’t recognize these fears.

He pulls me up off the ground
I try to pull away,
But his grip is so firm, it hurts
To the point where I’m forced to stay.

He pulls out the knife again
And presses it against my skin.
Delicately, he opens me up
And stirs the pain within.

The knife it’s killing me
He doesn’t know what it does.
It takes away my dreams
And my essence that once was.

How did I get caught up in this?
Why won’t he let me go?
But even if he did,
I’d have nothing left to show.

The blood is pouring down my wrist
And drips slowly across the bend
Where it waits for me to catch it
Like a dieing man’s best friend.

His eyes cut through me
Much more painful than the knife.
I fall down to my knees,
Losing this useless life.

This is the end I’d meet
For a one and only
The life escapes me now,
Please don’t let me die lonely.
