Because of you

You slit my throat so I can't scream,
you slit my wrists so I can't hold on.
I'm buried deep below
and still sinking deeper
where no one can see my silent struggle to get out.
a bottle of vodka and a razor sit at my bedside
as I lay and contemplate how I want it.
I drink away as the tears stream down my face.
I slowly cut as blood streams down my arm
I finally realize I'm lying on my death bed.
I scream and cry but I can't be heard, there's no sound
no one there to help
with one gasping breath I quietly say
"because of you"
