David
Hurt by their words
their glares and their fists
He picks up the knife
brings it down on his wrists
the last thing he sees
dripping blood hot and red
the flashing of lights
uniformed men surrounding his bed
They come out and watch
repent what was done
but foresight is blind
they realize that now
its too late, now he's gone
leaving in his wake
a mother and father
holding their hearts
so suddenly fragile
so easy to break
an empty chair
in a dark cold room
where once sat a boy
who was more of a girl
with dark, golden hair
gray eyes sparkling like pearls
he died in the summer
for love of a boy
alone in a world
he never could change
alone in a world
that only called pain
he slashed at his wrists
each doing their part
and that boy, without knowing
he slashed at my heart
