::Thread::
By Autumn Ivy Fields
I've lost my thread, my blood is spent
My eyes begin to tear
My love is gone, my heart is bent
I find no comfort near
I'm near the end of this infernal rope
There's just one string remaining
My pool is dry of all the hope
My courage, too, is draining
My smile has vanished, my light bulb's cracked
My wrists are sore and red
My jollity's gone, my power's zapped
The end I do not dread
The life I've lived and loved throughout
Is empty of all its meaning
The laughter and joys were, no doubt
Consolation for my screaming
Perhaps the love you gave to me
Was meant to subdue the pain
But that's gone too, it's now I see
Your love was my binding chain
When all was lost and I was down
You were my only thread
Keeping me here, erasing my frown
Making me smile instead
You bound me down, you were my life
In God's eyes a last resort
To keep me alive, away from the knife
But know my breath is short
The blood drips off and stains the floor
The tiles begin to fade
As crimson liquid seeps towards the door
Encompassing the blade
The heart that I once gave to you
Has been damaged beyond repair
You were my thread, I trusted you
Deep in my despair
The tears that I had shed before
Disappeared when you were near
You gave me love when I implored
For anything other than fear
You showed me that I didn't live
For nothing as I thought
That there was meaning and I could give
My life another shot
You lifted me up and gave me dreams
Taught me to be tall
I can't believe it even seemed
Like you cared for me at all
For when you were good and I was well
And everything was nice
You decided to thrust me into hell
And burn my heart with ice
You ripped open the seams that you had sewn
To fix my broken soul
With daggers and razors and blades unknown
Slashing a massive hole
You gave back my frowns, erased my smiles
Turned my dreams into nightmares
You made me feel just like a child
Trapped inside my worst fears
You killed my hopes, slaughtered my dreams
Broke through my binding chain
Turned my tears into fluid streams
And salty seas of rain
Now I fall down to my knees
And remember just the way
You ignored my shouts and desperate pleas
And stole my innocence away
Broken and dirty, I begin to fade
From the world you know
Dimly I wish I could have stayed
And let you be the one to go
I slowly collapse onto the ground
My heart just seems to crack
In darkness and death I begin to drown
As my vision fades to black
The single piece of thread that's left
Splinters and divides
My life withdraws with one final breath
As my soul takes off and flies
