Darkness

When death is the answer, the question is this
What horrible pain brought me here to a place I used to miss
A place that's cold and dark in the corners of my mind
With all the memories of days long past where my dreams are left behind

You made me who I am today, a cold and empty soul
The harshest words bestowed on me have finally taken their toll
This once carefree and happy child that always tagged behind
Is now the broken woman no one wants to find

She thinks of her mistakes by day and all the hurt she caused
About the people she cared for, about the ones she lost
She never thinks she's good enough to be in someone's life
She teeters on the dullest edge on a slowly cutting knife

She misses the place she used to hide where his words could never hurt
Now she wears a subtle mask, her only comfort a worn out t-shirt
She knows the only answer, she knew it from the start
Take the coldest sharpest blade and drive it through her heart
