The Urge

this urge inside it tears him apart

it hurts him so much, this bloody art

this art he makes upon his skin

this art is where he begins

to take the feelings out from him

and spill them out in this solemn sin

for help self given and not self done

in that moment of resistance he feels he has won

a losing battle for a while at least

and not give in to this release

its too easy to be good

its not the way that feelings should

be released and taken out

its not the way to let it spout

these crimson rivers of blood and gore

this pain inside he hides in war

with himself and in his mindthis pain it helps to pass the time

spent in mourning his broken heart

and wishing only to depart

but unable to let go

of this life the family and friends he's known

he's to loving to hurt them that much

and leave them crying while he's cold to the touch

the reason he chooses to bleed away

is to stop and try not die this way

not to end his life by his own hand

his life isn't his to command

he knows this and he tries to make

something that is his to take
