Scars

by Bluegirl - Sagittarius - Not entered

Tears on my face
Memories on my mind
Lying on the floor
I can hear nothing
But Silence
I can see nothing
But Darkness
And those scars
On my wrists

I know I should not have done
The things I did those days
They hurt me so much then
They still hurt me today
Sometimes it seems like
Nothing of what happened is real
Sometimes I wish that
I had never taken the knife
And used it against myself

Looking at my ceiling
Trying to discern some stars
Which could show me the way
To recovery
Utter recovery
Blindness and
Innocence

Can't you see how painful
It is to see those scars?
Can't you see how sorry
I am for having hurt myself so badly?
Why can't I be forgiven?
Give me hope, give me myself again
How long will I have to pay
For the crime I committed?
How long will I have to bleed
From the cuts on my wrists?

I am sorry for what I did
I did not know it would hurt so much
I am so tired of living this again
I am so sick of seeing the same things all the time
I am sorry - can't you see?
Can't you see?!
If I had known...
I would not have taken that knife
Or...
I would have pushed it deeper...

Tears on my face
Memories on my mind
I can hear nothing
But Silence
I can see nothing
But Darkness
And those scars
On my wrists...

Reason for writing:

    Sometimes I wonder if I will be able to forget what I did to myself... I did not know it would hurt so bad...
