Hurt

She hurt herself today
to mask all of her pain

one slit on er wrist
makes it all worth the while

she watches the scarlet tears
as they run down her arm

one more time to satisfy that evil hunger
for something more than tears

she wishes that she can get rid of her past
and she starts marking her arms with promises
that she cannot keep

she is so tired of hurting inside
tired of being alone

and for the last time
she cries those scarlet tears
just her and her knife

so she is no longer in pain
