"Cutter"

By Forever Cold


Just once more, it all under the skin,
The pain is crawling there
Underneath the skin
Take one more time
Take up the knife one more time
You have to cut it out form under the skin,
It’s just there, out of reach
You can see it.
Feel it.
Almost taste the sweet salty pain.
Just one more cut, and you know it will all go away.
Just with one more cut as you drag it across the skin.
Biting down hard on you lip so you don't scream.
The pain rocks you back ward as you can't help but scream.
Its going to come out this time, you can keep it there
It has to come out this time.
You can't live with it inside you.
You will let it bleed until it is gone,
This time it WILL GO.
You know it will go this time.
Racked with worry,
You push the blade down
Let it slice the flesh
Slowly, so you can feel it.
The pain feels good,
Better then the worry.
You’re going insane and you know it.
You don't care. Don't care about the pain,
Let it flow out this time.
If it goes out then the demon in side will die.
That pain will go away,
"Just one more cut,
Just one more and it will all be over
The worry will go away and the pain will subside
And all will be made right with the world
Just one more cut."
"And darling I will come back to you
And I can smile at you once more,
Be happy in love and way form my pain"
You cant hid the way you feel. You can't hide it.
Every one can see
The scares from the battles with that demon in side
The battles you didn't win is what shows,
God just one more cut
You know what you are,
You never call your self that,
Labeled cutter.....
