sometimes i think                              
that we                                                      
                               really are
~connected~                                                
                                                because when you tell me
                                      you caused yourself harm

and if i think back            
i remember a                            
                       slashing pain
over my skin    
                                                                                where i hadn't
                                                                                                          done anything

so really                                                    

you're hurting
both of us.

                                                             please stop.
