With each deep mark
I make on my skin
You said that it kills you
On the inside
Well, honey
My insides died along time ago
And that's why the marks
No longer cause me sorrow
Though I don't like seeing
The way your eyes dim
When I tell you that the tally marks
Have increased in quantity
So maybe I'll stop
So I don't cause you pain
Or maybe I'll hide it from you
Like the way I do with everyone else
