The Blade
I pull the knife from its sheath.
The metal gleams silver in the light.
I stare at its simple beauty.
So harmless looking, and yet not.
I press it against my s
It
It’s so cool and oh so smooth.
I wonder if I should.
Should I drag the edge across my arm?
Let the crimson blood flow.
Not to die, only to bleed.
Let my pain intensify, magnify.
I have bitten myself.
Scratched and hit myself.
Should I take the next step?
Should I part my flesh with this blade?
But I sigh, and put it away.
Tonight I won’t take this step
I won’t make my pain physical as well as emotional.
But will I be able to resist,
The next time the blade calls my name?
The metal gleams silver in the light.
I stare at its simple beauty.
So harmless looking, and yet not.
I press it against my s
It
It’s so cool and oh so smooth.
I wonder if I should.
Should I drag the edge across my arm?
Let the crimson blood flow.
Not to die, only to bleed.
Let my pain intensify, magnify.
I have bitten myself.
Scratched and hit myself.
Should I take the next step?
Should I part my flesh with this blade?
But I sigh, and put it away.
Tonight I won’t take this step
I won’t make my pain physical as well as emotional.
But will I be able to resist,
The next time the blade calls my name?
