Elijah's Poem

There is nothing I want more

than to be a better man.

However constant pain and suffering

is f*****g up my plan.

 

I want to be the type of guy

that you deserve in your life.

But when I’m always getting hurt

all I do is a grab a knife.

 

I know you say that it’s okay

And you love me anyway.

But all I think about is how I’ll hurt you

because I do this every day.

 

I don’t want to leave you

since I care so much.

That’s the only thing that’s stopping me

from feeling the cold metal’s touch.
