Darkened Flower

I look around
No ones there
I cut my skin,
I pull my hair.
 
I try to feel, 
I hear your name,
I only have 
myself to blame.
 
I bash my head 
Against the wall
I'm so frustrated
We had it all.
 
Came so far
To fall so fast
I should have known
It wouldn't last.
 
Now I'm left
Alone to die
As I bleed
I start to cry
 
Daddy's little girl 
Where have you gone?
Mommys stupid screw up,
What have you done?
 
I have no other choice
I needed you
I guess you liked her better
I trusted you.
 
I grab the blade
One last time
What's the point
If you're not mine
 
Take some pills 
Just in case
Stupid girl
Her life was a waste.
 
Write the note
Say I'm sorry
Tell my family 
not to worry
 
"It's not your fault
I turned out this way
I guess goodbye
I don't know what else to say."
 
"..And to the boy 
who broke my heart,
Now it's really bleeding,
A bloody work of art."
 
My eyes get heavy
My stomach gets sick
No reversing now
This is it.
 
As I start to fade
I start to smile
I haven't felt 
happy in a while
 
When they finally notice
They know it's too late
Such a horrifying tragedy
Why did they wait.
 
Loved ones start to gather 
She knew she never had
Why do they care now?
She's both happy and sad.
 
Her life was just a chapter
It would never be a book
With pages ripped and wrinkled
Nobody would ever look.
 
Her body lay there
So untouched and cold
Young and seventeen
She'll never get old
 
He did this to her
He made her this way
She's dead and alone
He has nothing to say
 
It's over, it's over
She can finally breathe
No more pain and no more hurting
She is finally free
