Burning

Fuck that hurts

The smell of burning flesh.

Why do I punish myself like this?

Why do you punish yourself at all?

You don’t need to feel such pain

Little one.

You don’t need to put flame to flesh

to feel something.

I’m a wreck

that doesn’t deserve the life I have.

The things I have.

So that is why I must burn.

Stop it! Stop!

Why why?

My god, you hurt me so!

Just one more time.

I’ll stop after one more time.

Pull down the pants.

Flick the lighter.

Flame to skin.

You don’t need punishment.

You are beautiful

Little one

You have no faults

Nothing to fear.

Just please,

make me stop burning myself!
