Remember how you said you would be there?
Where are you now when the blood spills from my arms.
Remember how you said you would protect me?
Now you stare as I cut deeper into my skin.
Remember how you said you would help me?
Why aren't you taking the knife away from me, but watching me slice my arm.
We are sitting, laughing, joking.
And here I sit with a knife in my hand,
Cutting into my arm.
And you watch and laugh as I rip the knife through my skin.
You make fun of me as the blood spills out.
Remember, you said you would protect me.
I bleed and cry as I sit alone with my pain.
You watch and stare, questioning me.
The bleeding doesn't stop and you yell at me.
Why am I not following through with my promises?
Because instead of helping, all you did was punish me more for it.
Remember, you said you would protect me.
