Just One Second More

Mixed emotions
Stupid pain
Irritating words my chest feels crushed
My mind feels cluttered
Red stains my cheeks
It's just a phase
No need to scratch those itchy wrists
The blade so tempting
Calling sweetly to my name
The beckoning of smooth cool metal on skin
So tempting
The shine of it is yelling
To feel my warm skin
Feel the groves of my wrists
Must resist
Maybe…
Just once I'll give into temptation
Stop the chaos
It all comes to a halt
Just one second more
