Slish Slash
That's the sound of blades
Blades on my wrist.
This is how my story-
It's how it ends with a twist
As life passed me by
I saw you sitting alone
Confused on this lone land
And all I wanted-
Was to take your hand
Life seemed better-
Only when I was with you
But it was that first time
That My Life-Your life
Was close to no time
As life dawned on
I remember it clearly
You were called away
And when I saw you
I knew nothing was okay
I saw you cry
I saw you fall
But when I tried to catch you
You pushed me away-
Even though this pain wasn't new
You finally told me
How your life was a mess
And as I hugged you close
I knew how'd you leave
And be the one I miss the most
I couldn't stop you-
So I made the best of it
You melted at my touch
But how could you-
hurt me so much?
The day you left
Was the day I stayed
The day my world crashed
I loved you to death
But without you my world is trashed
