Loneliness Kills
By darkness_descends
Sullen and alone
Looking at the same four walls
Day after day
Week after week
Year after year
Tear after tear
Staring at the stains on the floor
From many nights past
With a knife in my hand
Carving myself
To release my blood
Trying to lessen
The hatred I have for myself
That rages inside
Threatening to kill me
But no one knows
Because I'm always alone
Noting more than a prisoner of myself
Chained to a lifetime sentence
Of being me
The only parole in sight
Rests on the edge of a knife
Teasing me
By showing me freedom is in my grasp
Knowing I wanted to take it
I tried to find some help
But no matter where I'd go
I'd find I'm still the only one there
As my will to stay alive wore thin
I had to resign and give in
As I was granted parole
I came to the realization...
LONELINESS KILLS!
