Marvel at the intricacy of those few elating moments
Woven into your decay strickened life
Do those sporadic moments that make it all worth while equate the suffering
Or are they over-shadowed by the melancholy

Losing control of how you feel
Those bleeding scars will never heal
Remove the fragmented heart from its chest
Will those salted cheeks subside, or will they regress

So tempting is the permanence of the solution
So intriguing is the artistry of the departure
Is this the only way out, is this what you've longed for

-Dissect-the-veins-

-Bleed-out-the-lies-

-Scalpeled-wrists-

-Exit-this-life-

Encompassed in sorrow, dripping hands begin to scrawl
Sweet poetic beauty finger-painted on the walls
Choose the words wisely, they will last a life time
Can't pretend anymore that everything will be alright

Already you feel so dead inside, wanting nothing more than to die
Exact revenge on this world for turning its back on you
Shudder in terror of what you feel compelled to do

-Is-this-what-you-longed-for-

-Is-this-the-only-way-out-

Sweating palms clutching stainless steel
A final scream shrouded in darkness
One last cry for help as crimson stains the bath tub walls
The pain excapes as the serrated knife falls

The eternal release encapsulates your irresistable devestation
Could it have waited another day
Another time
Another place

Would the desires still have burned the same
Years from now will they remember you
Will their memories remain in death
Or will they fade further away

Each heartbeat rhythmically slows to its last palpitation
Quivering lips fall silent
Pale flesh tainted to a bluish hue
The only life that remains lies in the streams of the dying words written by you
