Razor Blade Dreams

By Syn

And if I was a cutter, this is what I'd do.
I'd carve an image of your face, for what you've put me through.

And as I bled I'd think of times that I've broken down.
And I'd remember each sour word, oh that wretched sound.

And I'd cry blood red tears, in memory of all the years.

And I'd hurt but love the pain, for the razor keeps me sane.

And I'd see that glistening stream, flow from my cut and it would seem
That I am numb, cannot feel, and can escape all that's real.

...If only I was a cutter. I wish I was a cutter.

I love poems of this type. I am a cutter turned cutter-for-pleasure, so it is a subject I like a lot. Beautifully sorrowful, and the second line gives me ideas. ;) The last line is ominous and very cool. -Michael
