Slowly falling down the hole Feverishly flailing, no place…

“Slowly falling down the hole Feverishly flailing, no place to hold. Consumed by darkness, where did she go? Sadness has its hold on her, this place she does not know.

“Slowly falling down the hole Feverishly flailing, no place to hold. Consumed by darkness, where did she go? Sadness has its hold on her, this place she does not know. Ruby red ribbons across her wrists How did she end up like this? Once filled with laughter, full of smiles She cries and watches her blood hit the tiles. Pain and sorrow flood her eyes Her voice can only tongue lies. Searching for the light alone Will she ever make it home? The cold hard metal becomes her friend She just needs the pain to end. A quick sting and then relief The satisfaction was too brief. Concealed by misery, shes losing herself Trying to leave with such great stealth Getting closer to the light, then suddenly she slips Back into darkness she's lost her grip The battle is constant it can never be won She tells herself that her life here is done. I loved you she whispers as she takes her last breath If only you knew you could save her from death And just like that she slips away Leaving pools of red for skies of gray She looks back and thinks of what could have been If only that blade never met her skin Take a deep breath before you begin If you battle the blade it will be hard to win And if you are lost and want to give in Remember your life is not worth taking for the pain that youre in.”
