No...I don't cut. But, here you go.

the night is burdened by my presence 

the clouds are dark and threatening 

the knife flashes into my mind 

my sorrow envelopes me fully 

i'm lost without my pain 

save me from myself 

i know you say i don't deserve it 

that cutting isn't what i want to do 

but each droplet of blood splashes down 

and brings inside me a small victory 

for i have suffered for my wrongs 

i deserve the pain 

but then as the blood leaves me veins 

a whisper comes out of my mouth 

so soft, so slight 

"save me" 

my mouth says 

"save me from myself" 

but the whisper is lost among the wind 

and you do not hear my silent cry 

i am alone in this cold night 

as i deserve to be 

but i can't help but wish 

you could save me from me....
