You found out last night.
I lied and said it was from a year ago, that I don’t do it anymore. That the girl I was worried would notice was my ex-girlfriend, not you.
But now you know, and I don’t know what to do.
You called me on the phone last night.
You sounded worried. but oh god, I could see it in your eyes, you were beyond worried- you looked petrified. You asked me if I still did it, if I still painted my skin with that sharp point. And as I was telling you no, I rubbed my finger over the marks that were healing from last Thursday. And a part of my brain was telling me to stop- that I was going to hurt the people I loved most, but oh that other part was telling me to go to the bathroom and reopen those wounds.
I don’t know why I feel this way. I should be better by now. I should be healed.
