Knives

Knives are sharp.
Knives are dangerous.
Knives are fun.

Knives can ****.
Knives can make you feel alive.

Knives go away.
These last few weeks my knives have been my best friend. I am ashamed to say that I have given into the temtation of cutting again. (yes again) I am getting help and am doing better. I haven't cut in a week. It is kinda sad that I am happy that I have lasted for a week but sometimes that is how life works. I am so glad that I can depend on all of you for support and love even when I don't get it at home.

Dust
You
With your words
The Knife.
You.

Me
Knowing and not knowing,
Afraid and clueless.
Me.

Us
A thing that used to be,
The dust on the mantle.
Us.

We
Will never be the same
The blood that was spilled across the floor.
We.

This crime scene filled with pain and sorrow and regret.  The murderer and the victim one in the same—but also separate.  Two hearts that both dance to the same miserable song.
I don't know why this poem is so popular...  I've done better...

if they refuse to grow with you,
you're better off moving on by yourself.
If I've learned anything in life, it's that sometimes leaving people behind is the best you can do for yourself.

i will always be
too much
yet never enough
for you.
if the sum of the forces add up to zero, then what am i?

your name is
forbidden in
my mouth
or in my heart
because when
i think about
you;

i'll cry a little more,
hurt a little stronger
love a little softer
because you no longer
make me feel sober

i'm drunk on the
memory of you
if only i could chase you with pizza but shots don't work like that

As if those straight long hair
was not enough
That you had to color them
to make it more graceful.  

As if those deep Eyes
were not enough
That you had to put Kohl
to make it more Ravishing.  


As if those oval Nostrils
were not enough
That you had to wear that nose ring
To make it more exquisite.  

As if that Smooth Neck
was not enough
That you had to now wear that Delicate necklace
To make it more irresistible.

I’m sorry. I love you.
I’m sorry for this.
I’m sorry it’s hurtful.
I’m sorry you’re missed.

Perpetual pain in a world so cruel.
I didn’t think I’d never be with you.

I’m sorry I love you.
I’m sorry I felt.
What I said was true,
Leaving hadn’t helped.

I hoped the fear would fall.
I looked past the last door

I’m sorry, I love you.
Forgive me, we stopped.
I didn’t have a clue
We would feel this locked.

I saw you there waiting for me
But now I know it was only fantasy.

‘I’m sorry’. ‘I love you’.
However it’s said
I wish this knew
A different end.

To the bone I am becoming,
losing track of what I wanted to be,
I'll find myself being pencilled in
with grayscale tones painted over me.

To the bone I am becoming,
break my fingers, my limbs and my soul,
you'll touch me as you wish, burning me thin,
'til I'm fragile - no parts of a whole.

To the bone, I am becoming,
even though I'm desperate to try,
because all I can taste is your hands on my skin
and bitter and dark was the fight.

To the bone, I am becoming,
I'm addicted to losing control.
My bedroom is littered with matchsticks and gin,
To the bone
To the bone
To the bone.
~~ Trying, failing, rinse and repeat. ~~
