a/n: hi sorry i'm late with this one

.

ten

the dead

.

just don't think about them, he thought.

don't think about the dead.

\/

the broken souls

those empty holes

/\

he tosses and turns at night, trying to sleep, but he can't.

because he will be forever haunted by the souls of the people he couldn't save.

\/

screams from below

oh, nobody will ever know

/\

they're gone, and it's his fault.

he couldn't save them, the demons scream.

\/

gone forever

never again seen ever

/\

you are a coward, the voices say. their voices echo around in his head.

and he believes them.

\/

screaming for salvation

from the voices in my brain

/\

you deserve to die, the voices scream.

just do it already.

\/

screaming for

a different war

/\

he holds the blade in his head, staring at the shining metal.

his hand trembles. "i'm ready," he says.

\/

this is what i deserve

don't try to save me from this curve

/\

the blade goes deep, and the blood streams out in an endless flow.

he screams.

\/

silver knife in my skin

letting out what is within

/\

the world spins, and he knows it has worked.

he is dying. and he is happy.

\/

i'm letting go

falling down with the snow

/\
