Once again

by katie!   Apr 3, 2005


I look at the scratches running up my arms
And I smile with a cruel satisfaction
A giggle appears in my throat and bursts out
As I search myself for a different reaction

Blood fresh and all over my skin
As I smear it into words, the word pain written in my blood
Drying onto my body, I don't want to wash it off
I leave it there a memory, marking out my life again

Is this my only way to be happy
To cut my arms and legs open so I cry
The agony flooding over me afterwards
When the exultation has worn off and I nearly die

My mind a no longer a sancutary but a tomb
All my dead memories stored and thrown away
Stabbing myself with a white hot knife of thoughts
Everything the same as it was yesterday

Listening to you and her cry drives me mad
As I succumb to the insanity that drives me
Stop lying to me, I know they're watching
They are going to kill me, you'll see
