Things That Make Your Skin Crawl

by Jo   Oct 2, 2005


Would it bother you to feel my pulse slowly fade away?
Would it creep you out if I told you that I got a rush from cutting myself?
Is your skin crawling yet?

Would you care if I wasn't here tomorrow?
Would it matter if I told you that I liked pain?
Is your skin crawling yet?

Would it bother you if I took one too many pills this time?
Would it creep you out if I told you that I liked the site of blood flowing from my veins?
Is your skin crawling yet?

Would it change anything if you looked into the mirror and saw the damage you've caused?
Would it be helpful if I told you it was all in your head?
Is your skin crawling yet?

Would it bother you to be happy?
Would it creep you out if you cut too deep next time?
Is your skin crawling yet?

Would you believe me if I told you that I was the shadow of this being who is slowly killing itself?
Would it make it any easier if I wasn't your inner conscience telling your mind to stop?
Is your skin crawling yet?

Will it still bother you once the rest of you is gone?
Will it still creep you out when you can't see your reflection anymore?
Is your skin still crawling;
Or do you still exist?
