He took my happiness, my life, my world.
He took it all away.
All I have left is depression.
Ah so sweet, yet so bitter.
Nobody can help me.
I'm falling.
Falling ever closer to point of self harm.
I can't escape.
I'm too far in.
And then HE came along.
My feelings returned, the disappeared.
because I knew I couldn't have him.
I couldn't have the one thing that would get me better.
The one thing I needed was forbidden.
Yet I dreamed and schemed,
And failed every time.
I knew I doomed to die depressed.
Of my own doing.
Because of things that went wrong in my life,
I came closer to the point.
The point of self harm.
Then I bypassed it altogether.
I took that knife,
So simple, yet so dangerous.
I took it and pushed it into a place that hurt.
I did something nobody should ever have to do.
I escaped because I wanted to stay sane.
I escaped to a world of blackness where I was only simple me, nothing more.
Black silence. It's deafening
