I should thank my body
healing so quickly
I don't remember the hurt

Some scars do fade
left feeling like a mistake

sometimes you want something more permanent

If my saddness doesn't last
does it matter

If my scars fade
did my pain exist

like waves crushing into the shore
I rip away a part of my arm

It's depressing
when you let your sadness define you

You can't become anything else
You can't breathe into yourself

Temporary pain
isn't enough
to self satisfy

Now
now

I may be the darkest me

Soon we'll see the snow moon
I'll bleed into its reflection
