I cut

I cut

The razor slices my skin

The blood flows down my arm

The pain electrifies

The sensation is wonderful

I carve a heart into my arm

To be there forever

To love me like

A man should love me

Like my ex didn't

Like my parents didn't

But it will

The razor always loves me

So naturally

I cut again

Raw and emotional. Self expressive, deeply thought and dark.

"There were times I watched as night closed in and shadows slipped away.
It is not so much the start of night as the ending of the day.
A darkened spot, a stain indented.
I wanted to freeze moments of time and I knew this was not my life.
Whispering dark secrets into the lonely emptiness of my room, I hold myself, slowly tremble and die."

My scars are decades old.
Truly irrelevant, and yet still haunting me.
And the ones that haunt the most are the ones you can not see.
If you ask the ghost, what answer will you hear?
repetitive and from the past, pointless and yet its meaning lasts.

This takes me back. Brings out past emotions I can truly relate to. Emotional andcuts to the core.

Love cuts us deep and friendships save us from drowning...:)..........................

Your words play wild with fire, the blood red release of your scars. Yes, there is sweet surrender when the blood flows free, and yes, a heart can find such peace when love is a fire as well. May you find all the beauty in loving that your marks leave on your warm skin.

I really don't know what to say...it's sad if it's true, I mean its a good poem, the subject matter intense, but no one should ever be in that place.

Very deep. I'm not a real big fan of cutting, but if you do ever need to talk, I'm here. But in my honest opinion you're ex was stupid. So don't harm yourself over an idiot. It's not worth it, I promise. Always alternatives. He'll realise one day that he screwed up. You're too beautiful. Don't forget it. Keep up the good work.
