Omnia vincit amor et nos cedamus amori- Love conquers all let us yield to love<br /> Sweat Dries, Blood Clots, Bones Heal, Suck it up and dance! <br /> If they give you ruled paper, write the other way


You kiss me, I kiss you
I hurt me, and end up hurting you
You fill me with feelings
That are foreign
I cut to relieve
Because I can’t take them
But I want more
It’s a dangerous game
Raising the doses
Risking the pain
It gives me a rush
That leaves me crashing, burning
Bleeding, but I just can’t
Can’t push you away
You hold me in your arms
As I clutch the blade
To kiss or to cut
The ultimate decision I must make
I can’t have both
But what will leave me in more pain?
