10 Minutes to Lose
Lightning strikes across my eyes
much like the blade of this knife,
across my wrist, I twitch against the pain
cutting deeper and deeper, I quit life's game
Slowly I witness my entire life seep away
10 minutes to lose 7300 days
"...A permanent solution, for a temporary problem." is what I was told
But the temporary problem is growing old,
in this world that I do not want to live in
I stay alive because I'm pain-driven
But now here I am laying on the floor
Blood seeping out through the bottom of my door
Its much too late to stop it now
I give a smile to life, and my head bows.

vivid, cruel, honest pain.
"temporary " can truly be a long time.
do keep finding beauty in words.
