Cuts Begin to Itch

Through the echoes
I will be clear
Lead me to light
Or just leave me here
 
Through the tears
I will scream your name
If not in vain
Surely in rage
 
I've climbed this mountain
And spat from the peak
Looking down, there's nothing left
But the weak
 
Through the hours
I hear you echo
Loud and clearly
Through my head
 
Through the noise
I cut
Because you're not here
You're still dead
 
I've buried this before
Ghosts still find me
Scratching whispers
Constantly remind me
 
Through it all
I still remain
In the pounding silence
In the unrelenting pain
 
I've climbed this mountain
And found nothing above
That was not below
 
Let me be clear
Lead me to truth
Or just leave me here
 
I will be alone
Forever

Author's Note
To this day, I have not read my mother's suicide letter. Nor will I ever. I will never know what her last words were. But I know the truth is, that wasn't her writing it.
