Best Friend

October 31, 2014
By Anonymous

are you happy now.
now that the blade has become my best friend?
now that my blood runs down my skin
just as water from a faucet?

are you happy now?
to see what you have driven me to?
now that all i can feel
is the bitter coldness of stainless steel?

do you fear what i've become?
what you forced me to be?
an empty shell of a human
wishing to be free?

are you afraid of the truth?
that its because of YOU?
your hate, you lies
your judgy little eyes!

blood runs down my skin
eager to reach its bitter end.
and all because of you
the blade is my new best friend.
