Drunk and in Pain

Feedback Received!

You take that blade
With it's wicked charm
And draw it fast
To make it harm

The pain you have
I can't comprehend
I just wish I had power
To make it bend

Towards any plane
Besides your arm
I never wish
Upon you harm

Because I know
That every day
You see the world
And wish yourself slain

You never seem
To understand
The world at play,
It's grasping hand

You see it reaching
And flinch in fright
You seem to have lost
The will to fight.

And that I see;
It hurts me so
I want to strike
To deal a blow

To anything
I have in sight
Because your feelings,
They cause me fright

I'll never know
Why what you see
Makes you shut down
Want to disappea'

From this plane
That we live in
I don't understand
Why you begin

To take that blade
And move it slow
Across your arms
The red lines grow

I can't begin
To start to say
How even the thought
Makes my mind stray

To any way
To make you smile
Though deep inside
I know all the while

You'll probably stay
Inside your gloom
For happiness
You can't seem to bloom

Inside yourself
A happy mind
Where your thoughts are
All good and kind

And you no longer
Seem to be
Able to produce
Any happy

Thoughts to help
Carry you through
That dark and looming
Depressive gloom

And though I will
Always be here
To try and keep you
In good cheer

I want you
To understand
I always will
Be close at hand

Doing my best
To make you smile
If only to
Delay a while

That awful act
Of blade to wrist
With a slice
Or perhaps a twist

I'd much rather see
You full of life
Happy and jovial
Not full of strife

And I'll always work
Towards that days Dawn
For from your feelings
I wish you drawn

So I must say
I will be here
To supply your freedom
Please; don't fear
