A single cut from my bony wrist--     up towards my darkened elbow It's amazing how blood slowly seeps through--     staining its path a rich crimson hue A gentle throb before a numbing ache--     much like before, it's always the same Shallow wounds are, dare I say--      nothing more than teasing temptresses of our world today Blood seeps through, staining its path--      much like our influence--as we ignore nature's wrath It's amazing how I still manage to contemplate--      while ignoring how the cut has become increasingly irate Shallow wounds      Shallow wounds           Shallow wounds. I really don't understand the sight--      It just isn't for me--try as I might Then again, this isn't something I necessarily hate--      but it surely isn't something I'll try again after this day Shallow wounds      Shallow wounds           Shallow wounds. Care to give it a try?    It might not have done it for me--       but I know it's sure to satisfy.

Shallow Wounds
A single cut from my bony wrist--     up towards my darkened elbow It's amazing how blood slowly seeps through--     staining its path a rich crimson hue A gentle throb before a numbing ache--     much like before, it's always the same Shallow wounds are, dare I say--      nothing more than teasing temptresses of our world today Blood seeps through, staining its path--      much like our influence--as we ignore nature's wrath It's amazing how I still manage to contemplate--      while ignoring how the cut has become increasingly irate Shallow wounds      Shallow wounds           Shallow wounds. I really don't understand the sight--      It just isn't for me--try as I might Then again, this isn't something I necessarily hate--      but it surely isn't something I'll try again after this day Shallow wounds      Shallow wounds           Shallow wounds. Care to give it a try?    It might not have done it for me--       but I know it's sure to satisfy.
