Tracing the Scars

I have not felt the urge in so long Tonight the desire is strong I attempt to resist But I find myself tracing the white lines Over and over again For now, I trace with my fingertip However, tonight the desire is strong The desire to see the shine of the blade To feel the pull as it neatly slices the skin To see the bright red as it fills in behind the blade How long can I resist this urge Now where did that come from Look a shiny blade in my hand I have missed you Let me see you work Let us make new scars
