Cut

elphaba993

I'm steadily carving my feelings away

Every cut a little deeper

Just one more slice of the blade

Every time.

 

It's getting worse

I know it is

But I can't stop.

 

I don't want to stop.

 

I'd rather feel the physical pain

Than the chaos inside.

 

These poems

The paper and ink

That used to give such relief

Don't work anymore

 

I write because I need to someone to know

Why I'm slowly slipping away

 

I need someone to know

Before I lose myself to the gleaming blade

 

Because I can't stop

 

I won't stop

 

Until every last feeling has been etched away

Onto this canvas of skin
