Debbie’s goodbye

She’s standing there all confused,
She feels so small. She feels so used
She starts to cry and falls to the ground,
With a razorblade in her hand
She stares in the mirror and locks the door,
So determined to feel no remorse
She picks up the blade and puts it to her wrist,
She’s said goodnight to her parents, told them she loves them,
And gave them one last kiss

She cuts herself and starts to bleed
She doesn’t know if this is what she wants now, or what she needs
She feels so selfish; She feels regret.
She wishes the blade and her hand had never met
She’s feeling dizzy. She’s slowly dieing.
She’s left me here alone
And crying.
