Cross My Heart

Cross my heart and hope to die

Slit my wrists as I cry.

I swear to you that I'm alright,

But everything is so wrong.

No, I'm not okay,

Not sure I can last another day.

The knife so sharp, so strong.

I slide it across my wrist.

Maybe when I'm gone I'll be missed.

I cross my heart and swear to you

There was nothing you could do.

I was gone long before

Way before I was called a whore.

I've been gone for awhile.

Constantly in denial.

Trying to hide how I really felt.

Which to use the knife or the belt?

This is a sad ending

And my heart has no more time for mending.

I cross my broken heart

And swear for the last time.

I'm fine.

The scissors fresh with blood.

Dripping with my pain.

Soon I will be slain.

My heart was killed awhile back.

Torn down like a rugged shack.

It's my time to go;

My time to leave.

Forever I'll be free.

One final time

I'll cross my heart and hope to die

When I take this blade,

No longer afraid.

I'm sorry if this is scary.

I'm sorry if this is mean,

But from now on

This life I'll no longer lead.

I cross my heart

As I die.

You'll find this note

Where my dead body does lie.
