Blood Stained Pages

I am writing this letter

A letter to say farewell

I hoped life would get better

But it became a living hell

You never listened

You thought I was lying

Ignored my cheeks when they glistened

Deaf to my suffered crying

Fighting life, body sprawled

On blood stained pages

Words are scrawled

I am trapped in life's cages

Preparing to breath my last

Counting seconds so I can act

Maybe I will finally escape my past

When I take on this deadly pact

I am now just a verse in a dead song

Dealing with it the only way I know how

Now you see, you were wrong

Will you listen now?
