Sometimes you just want to watch yourself bleed And then you realise that you are already bleeding But the thing that's flowing isn't blood It's pain Not flowing from your veins But from every single pore of your being And there's no way to stop that bleeding Because it bleeds from more than just the outside But the inside too More specifically, your heart and your mind And sometimes even within the intangible confines of your soul So you pick up that razor And you try to make the bleeding real Because that way you can stop it That way it's tangible That way you can see it
