Pictures

By tormentedsoul666

I'll draw you a picture,
Picture with a twist.
I'll draw it with a blade,
I'll draw it on my wrist.

And as I draw my picture,
My memories will drain.
No more sorrows now,
All I feel is pain.

As the pain fades,
My mind begins to clear.
Laugh quietly to myself,
I gave into my fear.

I gave into temptation,
Needed to feel the bliss.
Now all I had is gone,
All I have is this.

No feeling in me now,
Lay on the floor and cry.
The blood soaks through my clothes,
Now hoping just to die.

Tears mix with blood,
Silently I scream.
Never want to wake,
Want to stay inside my dream.

Cry out in my sleep,
Tears streaming down my face.
I need your love right now,
Need you to take me from this place.

I need to hear your voice,
Telling me that I'm alright.
I need you here with me,
Need you to help me fight.

Without you I'm lost,
No reason left to live.
Gave everything I owned,
There's nothing left to give.

Hoping above all else,
To feel your touch once more.
Look quietly at my reflection,
As the tears just start to pour.

A black rose shows my heart,
The red one shows my pain.
The white one shows my hope,
And you are what I gain.

Eyes look toward our future,
Heart that soars above.
For the first time in my life,
I know for sure that this is love...
