A razor slides across my skin
Cutting as it goes
It's sharp but drags along the flesh
Keep it secret, quiet, close
The red on tan is soothing
The pain distracts me, it will suffice
My heart is broken but it heals
With each and every slice
Keep it hidden under long sleeves
No one ever has to know
What would they do
If i ever let it show?
The blade that cuts me is my friend
Strong and concise
He leaves a precarious mark or two
But I will pay that price
