I could never tear my flesh
never see the flood begin to spread
I could never be numb
never letting pain subside
I could never spread my feelings
never truly telling how deeply I burn
I can walk in the realm I deserve
can punish myself for how I feel
I can bruise my body and bellow it's contents
can punish oneself to reach my ends
Seeking for a hand bruised as badly as mine
seeing only a refection
Seeking a twist to turn this plot
seeing the end I envision finally change
I turn to the shower to fine pain
turning to sleep to never forget
I turn to people for rejection
turning to sleep to never remember
Tonight is not a night I will forget.
nor will my flesh as I begin to bleed.
