To Die

By: Lady Ember

Fifteen years of seeking death

Wanting to take my last breath

I'm tired of having this painful heart

My soul is dark and I'm falling apart.

I take the razor so shiny and Thin

Light pressure against my skin

I slide it up from wrist to elbow

Precious pain the blood starts to flow.

Drip drip drip blood on the floor

Did I remember to lock the door?

I start to feel my life slip away

The colors fade and change to grey.

My soul released from a body prison

Could joy so complete really be a sin?

Light and beauty surround me now

But I have broken a forgotten vow.

Suddenly I'm pushed back inside

Struggling through the ambulance ride

Now I know I must live a little longer

My soul it has to become much stronger.

I made a vow to live out this life

No matter the pain no matter the strife

Enjoy the hurt enjoy the heart

Because this lifetime is only the start.
