Romantic Razor Blade

by Chad   Jul 5, 2005


I play a game on my arm.
The Romantic Razor Blade is such a charm.
Cutting beautiful pictures on my skin.
This is one game that I might win.
With each passing turn, the cuts get deeper.
The blade is perfect, it's a keeper.
I grow drowsy, but the cuts don't cease.
All I want is happiness and peace.
The blade inches it's way toward my vein.
But the blade does not know of any pain.
The game suddenly comes to a halt.
But it's not the blades fault.
I have lost.
And I pay the ultimate cost.

    I don't like things that glorify cutting in anyway, so that to me was the drawback of this poem. It was well written, and I know what you meant by it, cutting is a part of my life as well. I don't know just calling it romanitic bothered me I guess, because I know how horrible cutting is I just can handle it being called Romantic. The last few lines helped though:

    The game suddenly comes to a halt.
    But it's not the blades fault.
    I have lost.
    And I pay the ultimate cost.

    Suicide and cutting are wrong, bad and just pain stupid, lessons that took me a long time to learn. I wish you the best of luck with all the trials you are going through right now.
