Thoughts Like Knives

Thoughts like knives pierce my mind
My heart beats in my throat as I face reality
I never thought the truth would be so hard to find
Sometimes I think i'm on the verge of insanity

Things that once mattered now seem to fade
In a way I've gone numb, unable to feel
My emotions, once still, now start to sway
My reddened blurred eyes confuse what is real

Helplessly choking on tears of self-pity
I slowly let go as I fall to the floor
I listen for his voice to the best of my ability
Desperately searching for belief of something more

Coldness now starts to creep up my arm
I look away pretending not to see what I've done
My head fills with sirens of fear like alarms
My chances grow slim, since I started with one

My past grows dim
My present, unclear
My future won't happen
If I’m consumed by this fear

As I sit here, I wonder, where is he now
My life slowly slipping, my head falls to a bow
I feel not the blood on my wrist, nor the sweat on my brow
No pain yet runs through me, just questions, like how
How could this happen, when did I break
Why am I here now, or was this my fate

My memories are racing faster, as I begin to pray aloud
It's too late to turn back now, for I cannot hear the sound

The floor is painted red now, with blood that was once in me
Why did he let me do this, I just wanted to be free
Free from all this torture, that life seems to bring
I wish that he had saved me, or at least saved me from this thing
This thing is called depression, and it takes many lives each day
And today it's taking mine, as my breath slowly fades away.
