If Not For Me, Then For Him

My eyes burn, but there are no tears
My heart aches, but there are no words
My mind races with comforting thoughts of death
Sweet release with one simple movement
Knife in hand, wrist bare, one movement
Cut, a simple thought for a simple act
One thing stops the knife, him
He keeps me from the pain
His love for me fills in all the darkness
With him all pain seems insignificant
Only love and happiness remains when I'm with him
I put down the knife, turn around, and face the mirror
I let out the tears that were meant to flow
I loet out the scream that was meant to be heard
My mind stops racing with the deadly thoughts
I love him so much that I could not take my own life
