Make Me Bleed

The blood runs deep in my veins
Scars blemish my body
My only release
My one true weakness
The blade against my skin
Blood flowing from open wounds
Unkept promises
Painful burdens lifted from my heavy heart
Too many times it’s been broken
Thoughts of suicide cloud my mind
A bullet to the head or a knife against my throat
Just a tug on the trigger
Or a flick of the wrist
It will be the end of it all
The pain
The hate
Everything
No more holding it all in
No more promises to break
There’s nothing left worth living for
People laugh
People cry
But I’m the one who makes the sacrifice
No more jokes and no more lies
I can’t take anymore of this
Memories are all I’ve got left
Of the good time and the bad
The dark days remind me
Of a life I wish to burry in the past
A life no longer worth living
And a life I’m willing to forget
Make me bleed
Make me cry
Make the nightmares disappear
I’m tired of hiding who I am
It’s time I let the world see…
…Me for me
All you have to do
Is make me bleed
