I Never Meant To Hurt You

Hunched over on my desk
you see me
i try to hide it from you
this is what you see
I'm cutting again
this addition has me
under its wing
snug and warm
it protects me

watching the blood run
you find me
watching globules of blood oozing
this is what you find
the blade is my friend
better than you will ever be
i listen to the blade
it whispers in my ear
the blade controls me now

i don't notice you
you stare at me
when i do i ask the blade for help
this is what you stare at
without questioning authority
i turn, flick my wrist
the blade cannot talk to me now
it has a mouthful of your flesh
i never meant to hurt you
