So pretty Adorning my skin; So stark Against my skin. There’s no denying what you are Only denying why you’re there. I have been able to hide you But if someone asked, what would I say? Razor blade accident? But why would it be: so deep, so wide, so long? (To keep me from loosing my mind.) So pretty Across my skin. You call to me- reminding me of the nights where I found release, where I found relief. The pain only transferred never truly soothed.
