Array ( [sid] => 103350 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Stopping Short [time] => 2005-08-12 17:14:50 [hometext] => i wrote this shortly after my girlfriend and i broke up... she means everything to me... but i was having doubts... [bodytext] => As the blade slides across my arm
A tear falls from my eye
A drop of blood hit’s the floor
As I begin to cry

Each cut is draining a memory
Of the past I leave behind
Each tear is wishing a thought
Of the future I must find

The thoughts however
Are growing grim
The memories are slowly
Making the room spin

I fall of the floor
Shaking with every breath
Alone and scared
But praying NOT for death

I release the blade from grasp
And try to stand up tall
But you’re not there to catch me
As again I start to fall

I catch myself on the counter
Crying for my mistakes
Slamming my hand into the mirror
And staring as it breaks

I fear the reflection staring back
Its caused so much pain
I’m not hurting because of you
And there’s nothing left to gain

I only cry these tears
Because I hurt you
I only make these scars
Because of what I put you through

This wasn’t your fault
You tried so hard to make it right
You wanted me to love you
But I gave up that fight

Be strong for yourself
And if it’s meant to be
Then I will be okay
And this won’t be the last thing I see

I will always love you
So if this is the end
I want you to know
That you will always be my best friend [comments] => 3 [counter] => 195 [topic] => 36 [informant] => mskier1021 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )
