Relapse

It's been six months

There have been so many times that I've come close

But I haven't

Because of her

I promised her six months ago that I would never do it again

I broke that promise

I was alone and having a panic attack because I did something stupid

Again

And I remember looking at my desk

And seeing my scissors

And wanting to slowly drag those innocent, blue scissors across my skin

And to watch the blood build up

Just like my bad decisions

And I wanted to see the blood fall away

Along with those bad decisions

For the first time

I thought about suicide

When I took my bath

I pushed and dragged my razor across my thigh

I've never used a razor before

It wasn't deep

It will be healed soon

I doubt it will scar

But I fucking did it

And I hate myself for it

I put my head beneath the water

And I let my air start to run out

But breathing is an involuntary action

I gasped for air

And instead got water

I sat up, coughing like hell

I got out of the tub

And drained the water

Before I could do more

Than just

Relapse
