Death grip

By Deathkitten

I try to hide
From the jaws of death
Trick them
Trick myself
I try to deny it
I shut myself out
And everyone else
With a mind full of doubt
Laying in the corner
Knees to chest
Crying my eyes out
Slicing flesh
Slit by slit
A trickle to gush
A pain that only grew
Oh god, it hurts so much
I thought if I bled it out
I'd get over you
Jaws of death
Ms. Death grip
Let loose my heart
I forgot how to breathe
And you're squeezing too hard
At times, I hoped you'd just tear it out of me
So I could rest easy
It wouldn't be in peace
Believe me
But I'd ne'er have to suffer
From your death grip
And this feeling so low
I chased the anger away
Yeah, right up my nose
I'll just sit & wait
For the last & final blow
It's sneaking up behind me
Trust me, I already know

    wow the ending is absolutely amazing! heartache sucks we all must live through it, to endure. some never learn, some just give up. others do live through it, others die. just a fact of life I guess. I was one of the lucky ones I found my soul-mate.
