By Seven

I do it every night

I don't know what went wrong

 

But tonight it hurts

And I want to be strong

 

The blood is everywhere now

All over the floor, my hand, and arm

 

I guess I hit a vein

Or just caused too much harm

 

But the sad truth is

As I try to breathe

 

I love the sight

And the feeling of absence comes with ease

 

I collapse on the floor

Gasping for breath

 

But no air comes in

And I know I'm so close to death

 

I count backwards from ten

By seven, it's the end
