The bloody stream
Crimson river
Silver blade
Weapon of destruction
Cutting
Self harm
What makes you start
You hear about it
How it helps release
And one day you snap
You see a sharp metal tool
Carve into your skin
And as the blood comes out
All of it goes away
For a minute
It was amazing
But then the guilt and hurt sets in again
But you keep doing it
To feel that release
It's addicting
It's amazing
It's bliss
That's what cutting is
But starting isn't the problem
Stopping is
Because half the time
When you stop
It's because your pulse has stopped too
It's an addiction that can kill you
I need to stop
Before I kill myself
And hurt everyone I love
I'm sorry
Forgive me
