CUT!CUT!CUT! (for mysticventures)

By Zhee

In the undulating flow
Of red crystalline springs,
You drown, my broken angel
Cursing your splintered wings.

[The blade screams (Cut! Cut! Cut!)
Pretend your flesh is theirs,
If you cut far enough, maybe
God will hear your prayers…]

See the cathartic glow
Within the rents you create,
Behold the open wound –
Bleeding out your hate.

[The voices wail (Cut! Cut! Cut!)
Till porcelain skin turns gray,
If the mind is numb, maybe
These demons will go away…]

Slashed on a razor’s edge
Choking memories smiled,
Etched within your soul
Immaculate dreams defiled.

[The demons plead (Cut! Cut! Cut!)
Down to the very bone,
If you cut deep enough, maybe
Daddy will leave you alone…]

(just another perspective on cutting.. as eloquently portrayed by mysticventures' "a cutter's hymn")
P.S. I don't support cutting either!

    As I have said.. I love poems on cutting.. My Mate and I both do. but I think we see it different than most.. This was beautifully worded. Well done. -Michael
