On Your Side, Suicide.
How many times will you fall for sins charms?
You’ve been keeping tally marks on the inside of your arms.
No one has listened to your depression calls.
No one has the time to recover your falls.
They’re not sorry for fading away,
They’re sorry for the words they will never say.
How this is not how you should behave.
You’ve been being your own slave,
Whipping your back for things you can’t control.
Digging yourself into a hellhole.
Your life came and left, like a mist.
I’m sorry for ignoring the tally marks on your wrist.
You’ve been keeping tally marks on the inside of your arms.
No one has listened to your depression calls.
No one has the time to recover your falls.
They’re not sorry for fading away,
They’re sorry for the words they will never say.
How this is not how you should behave.
You’ve been being your own slave,
Whipping your back for things you can’t control.
Digging yourself into a hellhole.
Your life came and left, like a mist.
I’m sorry for ignoring the tally marks on your wrist.

Interesting and compelling read. Wish I knew who was "speaking"; the principle? the cuts? a third entity? Good effort here for this reader. Kudos.
