Lines of Red

She lay, shaking with anger and sadness.

A tear-stained face and hoping for the best.

Wishing for change that never came,

Praying to god she's a little sane.

She wants to die a slow and painful death.

To feel everything to the last breath.

So she took a razor blade in exchange for her morals

And then her next day is full of pain and denials.

Because she can't handle reality

Each word just another apology.

For the failure of a life she has led

And for always wanting to be dead.

Meaning no, she's not o-fucking-kay

She'll pretend she can use her airway

And, for a little while, play it safe

Even though her legs are starting to chafe

From lines of red

And go to bed.
