Don’t do it


Standing in front of me

A shell of what you used to be

You fill the needle to the brim and slowly pierce it thru your skin

Numbed and hollow 

Sadness and sorrow 

You weren’t here yesterday 

And won’t be tomorrow 

 

You no longer feel pain, it’s a distant memory 

Just a reminder of who you used to be

Numbed and hollow 

Sadness and sorrow 

You haven’t been the same in months 

You won’t be in Years

 

The audible sounds of your loved ones tears won’t pierce the static that fills your ears 

Numbed and hollow

sadness and sorrow 

You weren’t here yesterday 

And won’t be tomorrow 

 

So here i stand in front of you and say

When that needle pierces the skin thats when the end begins 

Darkness fills your mind

You will do it again 

So don’t even try to begin the cycle that will soon turn you in
