Blade

I sink the blade into my flesh

The blood flows

Droplets of self-hatred

Droplets of self-loathing

Droplets of love

I care3 for you

My blood runs thin

My heart is thrown into the bin

I see you doing the same

I can see that you to

Are in pain

My pain comes from loving the wrong people

Maybe yours is the same

I mutilate my body

I block out my brain

I slash my body

To block the deep seated pain

Do you do the same?

When you close your eyes

Do you see what I see?

Do you feel what I feel?

NO

I doubt you do

We are different

Yet we are the same

We are joint

By the pain

The pain keeps me sustained

The pain keeps me sane

The pain keeps me here

But the pain must stop

Somewhere

Pain causes more pain

Hurt causes more hurt

I need someone to love me

Like I love them

Can it be you?

NO

I don't think so

So for now I'll stick with my true love

The blade.
