The blood runs into my eyes
Yet the pain still holds true
My hands struggle to grasp this last ledge of life
My heart will give out one day
It's been limping for a while now
Just when that day will come no one can tell me
Drop by drop the life flows out
The future strands snap one by one
Existence, over living, over stuck in the past
How I wish I could rip it out
Be rid of it, be rid of the pain
To bring an end to this shallow thing I call life
The pain would end.....finally
I could find relief for the moment
Slowly my eyes would flutter and the light would fade
Darkness would flood into me
Hellbound as most of us are
Then again would it seem like I was alive again
All my torments, all my broken dreams
All my hopes, all the lonliness
To lock me in a room, no light, no sound, no screams
For now I hang from this ledge
The yawning emptiness below me
The last vestiges of darkness salivating for my flesh
The monster I've always feared
The monster that was me alone
The beast I never let free from restraint to feed
Its a monster of torment
A monster of much anger
A monster I made with rage, hate, fear, and darkness
Perhaps its best I let go
Rid this world of me in it
The cries beset my ears with guilt, pain, and failure
Whatever I build, it matters not
It will crumble around me
Just as I and my ledge are crumbling now
