"Giving Up The Blade"
~Sara Montey~

Walking past my dresser drawer,
I catch a glimpse of it.
The stained metal reflecting the light
From inside where it sits.

I stop and stare for a little while
Remembering my past
And the relationship I had with it
And the different marks it cast.

I take it out and hold it
Carefully in my hand
Feelings overcome me
And it's soon to hard to stand.

I sit on the floor somewhat quivering
Recalling what I had been through
And cringe at the single thought
Of what I used to do.

My head was in a different place
Back when I used this blade
The blood-stained razor in my hand
As I finally watch it fade.
