Scars
Standing tall look at the blood running down her wrists
Look at the blood as it drips off her legs
Scissors held tightly in her hand as tears prick her brown eyes
She wonders what's she done
If it'll be the last time
It's linked to her soul,
Misery imprinted in her eyes
But she knows she has to let go
Of the cursed blade of silver
She must let it go.
Days pass as she holds the blade
But a voice within her forbids her
She doesn't cut,
No she wouldn't dare
Unless she'd hurt the one that she cares.
Days and nights pass,
Single thoughts of misery and pain
Yet a small light feels her head
The light of overcoming this dark pain
Has been well lifted from her
Two months have gone past,
With only vague thoughts of her blade
But her strength can and will prevail
Unless she wants to hurt those who really truly care
