Cutting

Just another red line
I gasp at the sharp pain, and sigh as it fills me with pleasure
Another day, another trickle of blood
Everyday, a little deeper, a little more force
It's now pooling on the bathroom floor, and I close my eyes
And sing like there's no tomorrow
A knock on the door “Basia, open the door!”
But I refuse, my life fading away
Towards darkness yet towards that familiar light
I squeeze my hand into a fist
It's pouring out faster, that metallic scent
And warmth... of like a blanket being wrapped around my wrist
Now someone is screaming, “Wake up!”
But I don't want to, I've found a happy place
I just want to stay like this forever
As my body shuts down, I am being lifted
Stop it, I don't want to make a mess
Just leave me alone, I'll be fine

I've been 8 months harm-free. I'm proud of myself. :D
