Decaying Hopes

Will the euphoria
Of death take away
Her pain?
She sits on the
Bathtub side edge
Wearing only
A bath towel
Staring at the
Razor blade
In her hand
She wasn't crying
Nor was she sad
The only thoughts
On her mind were
Would she feel
Alive again?
If she were to
Cut through her vien.
Would her spilling
Blood wash away
All her pain?
It's not that
She wanted to die
She just wasn't
Any longer alive
She closed her eyes
She held her breath
Counted to ten
Trying her best
Yet
Incapable of finding
A reason to live
Another normal day
Of decaying
Hopes and dreams
