Only for Him

My skin it slices,

With pain comes pleasure.

It’s me, my crisis

It hurts too much to measure.

I know I shouldn’t,

But what’s to stop me?

I need to try but I couldn’t,

Who else am I supposed to be?

I scar on the outside,

I scab and bleed and cry,

But it’s the thing on the inside,

The numbness is there so I can’t try.

To help myself.

To help them.

I’m not myself,

But only for him.
