kissing metal
By steppingfaintly •
It kissed me again.
A long time today.
It eased my worries, all my problems.
Made me understand life.
Allowed me to carry on living.
the pain wasn't an issue.
The pain was wonderful.
I wanted to carry on,
Dig it deeper and deeper into my arm,
Until I was dry of blood,
Until I was dry of everything.
Emotions and all...
I felt like a coward.
Like I was incomplete.
When I stopped.
The blood dripped off,
The knife.
Forming a pool,
A sweet, red pool,
Dark and glistening.
A pool for me.
My pool...
Just mine....
