• BLACK BIRD MIND

    Red blood regret,
    Tear-stained heart,
    Envy green eyes,
    Black bird mind.

    Break the razor open,
    Release the net of pain,
    Feel the blood revolt,
    Against malnourished restraint.

    They say pull back,
    They scream fall out,
    But run to the enemy,
    Ignore the pleading shouts.

    You decide the future,
    The doctors get no say.
    “You’re here for a reason,”
    More reason to die today.

    Floor of your room,
    Tear-stained rug,
    Blood pyjamas,
    “No one gives a ********.”

    Slices up and down,
    Pain almost gone,
    Just like the “friends”,
    You loved for so long.

    Stare at the ceiling,
    Lyrics of life,
    Escaping your lips,
    “Let go of the knife.”

    Broken into your room,
    Stare up at the door,
    Kneels beside you,
    Pleads, “No more.”

    Smirk of cheek,
    Raise of brow,
    One more cut,
    “How ‘bout now?”

    Scream of anger,
    Slap of surrender,
    He’s given up,
    So one more cut.
