To write love on her arms

The razor cuts the skin,
as makeup runs down her cheeks,
she's all alone,
oh she's all alone.
She can't seem to find her way,
she's been lost for so long,
long enough to forget everything.
She drops the razor and cries,
"Why me? Why me!?",
oh can't she see?
Can't she see that there is hope?
All she needs is something to hold onto,
a small piece of hope;
all she needs is love.
To write love on her arms,
is all that has to be done.
She's not alone,
oh she's not alone...

Author notes

"Every 18 minutes, someone dies from suicide. Every 43 seconds someone attempts suicide..." Okaay. So this poem isn't personal, but sad to me. Thousands of people kill themselves. "To write love on her arms," is a organisation that helps people who are depressed or people who hurt themselves. Of course when I wrote "to write love on her arms," in the poem I kind of meant, show them love or whatever. twloha.com o.e Thank you for reading. <3

    Good poem, Audrey!

    Reminds me of my ex-girlfriend. When I met her she had these long scars on her left arm running from her shoulder down to her wrist. Obviously self-inflicted.

    • Thanks for the comment. That's pretty sad too. .-.

        She caught her previous boyfriend cheating on her.

        So she ran into the kitchen and got a knife but, instead of stabbing him, she stood in the bedroom door and cut herself up.

        • oh wow :/

            He was a piece of ****.

            She had been working for a high-end strip club for six months, making hundreds of dollars a day and he had taken ALL her money during that time.

            When I met her, she had lost her job (self-mutilation isn't a wise career move for a stripper) and didn't even have the $21 she needed to get another entertainment license, having left hers at that guy's house.

            I bought her a new license and helped her find a job in a low-end club that would overlook the scars.

            Dumb girl.

            What had she seen in that guy? Fame. He was a professional cage fighter. But fame was the ONLY thing she had gotten out of that relationship.

            Don't be like that when you grow up, Audrey. Just because a guy is famous doesn't mean that YOU will gain anything by being with him.
