Just Once

Slowly she’s fading

Fading away from her precious reality

The walls she’s built have crumbled down

Who does she have to turn to now?

 

Her hopes have been shattered

All of her thoughts tangled up and spun around

Nothing has made sense for a while now

 

She’s feeling desperate

All of this is just too much

Her mind is spinning

Nothing good is coming

 

It’s all a blur

She grabs the blade

Just once should be enough

 

The stinging pain reminds her she’s still alive

Her movement chased by a thin red line

The same line she’s seen too many times before

But it’s not enough, she needs more

 

She draws the line again

And again

Each time a little faster

Each time a little deeper

 

Her vision is blurred by the tears in her eyes

She’s shaky and cold

Scared and alone

 

Now she cannot even trust herself

She puts the blade down

But knows in the back of her mind

This will not be the last time

I really love how in all of your poetry you can feel the emotions and you can feel the pain. You say your writing is really vivid and you apologize for it. Don't ! When you write things like this, it makes it all the more amazing and wonderful. Really nice job. One of my favorites. (:
