The Evil Friend

How long ago has it been?

For years you were my only friend

Though many thought it to be sin

I knew it was us until the bitter end

 

You gave me pain

You gave me pleasure

You left a blood stain,

And that was my buried treasure

 

Carve in deeper why don't you

Hit me until it becomes a drug

I love the sudden rush don't you?

Keep going for my grave has been dug

 

STOP!

 

I no longer need you

I no longer want this

You promised no one would see

All the pain you caused me

It's always been a hit and miss

So go sit in your anger and stew

 

My body is not a canvas for,

You to paint in red

Blade; I don't need you anymore

Now please get out of my head

 

I'm worth it

I'm perfect,

In my own way

Away from me you will stay

 

I was once a cutter

I am now a fighter

I was once in the gutter

I am now a few secrets lighter

 

I was once a cutter,

And you were my evil friend.
