Good things don't last forever, so cherish them while they're here.


My mind is spinning
This pain is winning
As I hide my arm
Another memory
Another scar
I used to wear my heart on my sleeve
Now it’s hidden
Turned to steel

I go along
With this pain
It’s all part of fate
I try to ignore it
To forget that date
It goes through
Over and over

I try to hide it
Bit by bit
My wrist is slit
The blood flows
Down my hand
Now I understand
What it’s like
To be truly lost
In this fog

My life
I wanted to be
My own
Now it’s just me
Sitting here
All alone

I hide the tears
As they slide down my cheeks
Always living in fear
I haven’t slept in weeks
I reach out
But I’m filled with doubt
No one sees me
So what

I take out my knife
My heart filled with strife
I chug down the drink
I write a story
In red ink

I spent so much time
Feeling so blind
Following you
Only for you
Now you’re gone
What do I do
What do I say
I go every which way

It’s so hard
Everything is going dark
I can’t see
Please help me

I scream
No one hears
I cry
No one sees
No one but me
I’m all alone
On my own
In this dark void
Called life
