desperate affection, abrasive arm
endless feeling of defeat, battle lost
malnourished sense of control, inflict harm

sweaters or wristlets, my heart starts to frost
scars you see and frown; evil, tempting vice
protect sure release, no matter the cost

unmanageable circumstance, I slice
wounded, but trying; please, tell me you're proud
losing familiar friends, the highest price

invisible, I cry out, feelings cloud
conflicted internally, loved despite
torn up wrist, warm embrace; wrap in a shroud
