Slipping
I like the feeling of coldness
Slipping so deep underneath
I like being sad sometimes
My knife slowly unsheathed
I slowly draw life out of myself
Slowly draw out blood
Crimson drops down to the floor
As it slowly creates a flood
I like the feeling of being sad sometimes
I get time to myself
I do what I need too
To get through this time
Sometimes I draw a knife
