This Little Blade

This Little Blade
This little blade is mine
I use it all the time
To express the things I couldn't
And probably shouldn't
The first time wasn't that deep
Just enough to draw blood
Each time gets deeper and deeper
Once I see the blood
It's like a bitter medicine
It makes me numb
And I can't feel anything
It's like I have entered a dream
And I'm not real
Like the pain I'd been feeling
Actually belonged to someone else.
Somehow I come back to reality
And I have to face the pain again
So I keep my little blade handy
Because...
This little blade is mine
I use it all the time
To express the pain I couldn't
And probably shouldn't.
