Affair with a Blade

A dangerous and deadly affair of the heart...

I've had multiple affairs,
But this one seemed so intimate,
Never been in love before,
But this time it seemed close,
I've got to be going crazy,
But the idea doesn't seem so insane,
Never felt so weak,
But you make me feel better,
I've seen too much,
But you're my escape,
Never been so lonely,
But you're my company,
I've gotta get out,
But you draw me in,
Never tasted death,
But your sharp metal is delicious,
I've only got so much blood,
But I have your reassurances,
Never been in a hospital,
But you put me here,
I've got more blood running through my veins,
But you're still there to release it,
Never again,
But your voice is persistent,
I've faced no more trouble,
But you're yelling at me,
Never wanna see you again,
But you're voice is getting quieter...

Author's Note

Is it a bit over the top that I used the same starters for the sentences in threes like that?
