This Gift

The pain still comes

Maybe just once more

It makes everything better

I'm never coming back

The light hurts

My eyes

I have not slept

In days

I see

Death

Not far from me

They told me

That this gift

Would help me

That I could fly

All I had to do

Was close my eyes

And take it

Now I'm on the border

Of life

And death

This gift has

Helped me

These scars

Will probably

Stay

But I don't care

Anything

To make the moment feel

Better

I close the door

And take more

And more

It's so addicting

It helps me

Maybe once more

Just once more

Now it hurts more

Another take

The last one

My last wish

Remains unknown

This poem isn't about any addiction I have... I promise... it was inspired by the song On The Edge by Tokio Hotel
