I have this desire to slowly tear apart
a small sliver of skin
slowly entrancing me
the once blue blood hits oxygen
then turns a radiant red
it trickles down I see

with the tiny piece of metal
that glitters so bright
shaped so perfectly for me
I invite my insides out
come out
I call to set them free

and I never can forget
when I make this choice
I'll have the memory
a beautiful reminder
a faint pink scar upon my skin
shows ever so slightly
