The Blade

I long for the touch of the razor against my skin
Slowly digging in
One cut is never enough
The pain simply melts away
Each and every day
One reason after another
I don't think I'll ever be able to stop
It's become my addiction
And it haunts me everyday
In time the scars will fade
But the pain will always remain
I grab the razor and add another scar
To my already red stained arm
I hide the marks from everyone around me
My so called family and my non-caring friends
They have no clue who I truly am
They only know the girl I pretend to be
They never see my silent tears
That I hide so well behind my mask
I go to school and fake a smile
Cover my arms so no one asks
And when I'm finally alone
I take the razor and drag it slowly across my skin
Allowing my problems to win
No one to tell how I feel
They're all fake and would never understand
So I turn to the one thing that I have left
I grab the already blood soaked blade
And I finally give in
My last moments are filled with darkness
I leave this world in hopes to finally be free
