the cutter

a cold blade runs across pale skin

a river of red runs deep

a sigh of releif and a limp hand

the cutter finally ran too deep

you feel yourself begin to fade

pulled slowly into the eternal darkness

mother runs in and slips on a blood soaked bathroom floor

a gasp and scream escape her lips

the dial of a phone sounds in the distance

their coming fast

but you are fading fast

you say your sorry mom

as the darkness evelops you

you feel a pull and you see light

a blur of blue coats and mixed faces

you wonder am i alive or dead

alive barely...... the slow beat of your heart returns

on a certain level i can realte to this
Your words capture the image perfectly- i can almost feel cut on the wrist and the pain that is hidden away in the person's soul.
