A Knife, A Slice, And Her Wrist

by Simply Complex   Feb 11, 2006


Running. Running. Running.
She had been doing it her whole life.
Its all she knew how to do.
She went to the kitchen and picked up the knife.
Held it to her wrist, blinked,
And made that fatal thin slice.
The blood poured as fast as her tears.
She was free.
The pain she had suffered for years was now over.
Her vision blurred and she feel like stone
Her raw red blood pooled around her,
and she let out on final groan.
She was free.
And she was finally happy.
To bad it had to end
with a knife, a slice, and her wrist.
