The tears fall all the more
Hands grow tired from clenching the knife
Pressed against my throat to end my life
Horizontal stains streak from my eyes
As I lie on the ground facing the skies
The stars remind me of how I’d wish at night
Praying and hoping things would be all right
Poor senseless wishes, true never to be
Tears now outline the shadow of me
My eyes now cloud and life is a blur
On the road to oblivion but I wish I’d be sure
Look in the mirror at my teary reflection
Misery and pain in all my detection
Crying silently when I can’t sleep
Horizontal tears stream down my cheeks
So I wipe my eyes and close them tight
Shut in the darkness, block out the light
Burning trails run to my temples from eyes
So happen the tears as I lie down and cry

Horizontal Tears

Here I am lying on the floor
The tears fall all the more
Hands grow tired from clenching the knife
Pressed against my throat to end my life
Horizontal stains streak from my eyes
As I lie on the ground facing the skies

Praying and hoping things would be all right
Poor senseless wishes, true never to be
Tears now outline the shadow of me
My eyes now cloud and life is a blur
On the road to oblivion but I wish I’d be sure
Look in the mirror at my teary reflection
Misery and pain in all my detection
Crying silently when I can’t sleep
Horizontal tears stream down my cheeks
So I wipe my eyes and close them tight
Shut in the darkness, block out the light
Burning trails run to my temples from eyes
So happen the tears as I lie down and cry

Your writing is really well outlined and talks about everyone it seems, but this is very good and everything turns out right in the end, even if the begining is most painful.
