A slice across my skin
Bright red pools forming
I've gone a little deeper this time
But that's not why I'm hurting.
I've failed the one I love
I fear I've now lost all hope
She said my perfection's gone
Those words cut deeper than my blade.
I'm so sorry...
I never meant to hurt you too
I was going to try and stop, but at your slicing words
I grabbed the razor once more.
I clean off the blood, bandage my wounds
Hide all evidence, focusing on the task
And giving my heart time to numb
Until the pain at the very surface is the sting on my thigh.
You mean so much to me...Have I lost you for good?
Maybe...Just maybe...
One good, deep slice across my wrist...
And I'll hurt you...no more....
