A Red Overcoming

Slit my wrists

Black my eyes

Help me out

And take my life

Shine a light

Show the way

Teach me how

The pain goes away

Kiss my wrists

Set me free

Slit my wrists

And let me be

Love me or hate

It doesn’t matter anyway

Because in the end

It all hurts the same

I found the last few lines very profound. Love can tear us apart so brutally at times, and can be more than hates equal. But to avoid the rose for the thorns below see's us miss so much in life

I don't think it's supposed to be about love or hate. I think it's about those who are willing and able to listen and offer up idea's to help keep the pain away. =)
A powerful and very real poem. =)
