Stare deep into these eyes of mine
Are they empty and abandoned?
Or only lost and confused?
Searching for a way back to
The path of happiness away from the hurt
That is becoming all to familiar
Examine these cuts jagged and self inflicted
Crimson red pours out and I can't stop
This is my only way out
Help me to understand why
This form of sickening pain is the
Only way to put a break to the tears
To temporarily stop the hurt and confusion
A way to forget about the problems knocking down my door
Reach into this heart
What is felt? Empty space--
Or sharp uneven pieces from being broken?
Is the warmth still being replaced
With a lonely coldness
That radiates through this body?
Step into my mind
And experience what I am feeling
Pick up the scattered pieces
Put them together and glue them
Into place in attempts to fix this life
Now do you understand why I do what I do?
Feel how I feel? Help me to sort
Out this jumbled mess.
I need your help
