"The blade shines with a welcoming smile
Greeting the flesh it hasn't seen in awhile
Old friends they were, they used to speak
About all of their problems and how they turned out so weak
While the blood rushed so did their tears
Then they drifted, for about a year
Then reunited like they never left each other
And talked about stress, boy problems, and mothers
But the conversation that triggered the first bit of tears
is the silent cry flesh holds - that no one seems to hear
She's lonely she explains
As the blade listens dearly
Then drives into the skin
Leaving a mark so clearly
They begin a relationship, the flesh and the blade
Unspeakable to others, one they both made
And when they separate, oh that won't be the end
For they have something stronger, they are old friends
So 'goodbye for now,'
Says the blade to the skin
'Don't let it be too long, till I see you again'"
