» Poem: Don't Hurt Yourself
Don't Hurt Yourself
written by Morbid Angel

Listen when I say that in my eyes you're perfect,
Look in the mirror and see what it reflects,
Such perfectness but such willful neglect,
Neglect to yourself when you think that you're ugly,
But I'm telling you to listen to me.

You're not ugly or fat so don't tell me you are,
If you were then I wouldn't be drawn to your arms,
Something about you that leaves me charmed,
Those arms are scarred, from when you self harm,
Drop your knife and remain unarmed

I swear you are perfect, please just listen to me,
Stop hating yourself and have a little trust in me,
I swear that one day I will force you to see,
Don't hurt yourself, don't disagree,
I'm in love with you and I always will be

Look in the mirror and you'll see me by your side,
I don't want to look one day, all alone when you've died,
So please stop hurting youself, stop taking your own life,
You're perfect to me and you'll always remain inside,
I'm trying to help you, please don't make me cry

You are so sweet hun... but you know I'm right... I will try to listen to you babe... I said I'd do anything... and I will... I love you so much... and I guess you do love me because you wouldn't say these things... would you babe? And baby... I do trust you... with my life (not that it's worth much)... the last stanza especially... is so touching and depressing... I don't sew why you'd write such a beautiful poem for me? I love you xx
