Array ( [sid] => 348 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Knife (Mind And Metal) [time] => 2002-07-14 07:13:33 [hometext] => [bodytext] => It slices through my flesh
So slowly
Some wince at the pain
I for one don't
It brings comfort
No matter how hurtful it can be
It brings me safety
Even though its a thing of danger

Red crimson blood drips
So slowly
Death is so close
All I have to do is press harder
Cut faster
Some people notice
I'm not sure they know
That deep inside
I'm the person I could never be
Inside is so different
Than this mask I keep
Inside is turmoil
Confusion beyond the worst

Cutting is the only way
To keep me in reality
Without a sharp edge
I don't know what I would do
Maybe jump off a building
It does seem tempting
I'll keep it in mind
Am I the only one
That thinks this way?
Am I the only one
That thinks cutting is reality?
I just might be
But everyones different

All I need now
Are my friends
"The Three"
And all the rest
If I lose you now
Who knows where I will go
Maybe into a hole to rot
Like I've been told to do
I need support
Through this time of chaos
Just stand by me
I'll never let you go





*To all my friends, I love you guys.
And just remember that if I really wanted to die,
I'll just shoot myself.
I could never do that to any of you, hence me being alive* [comments] => 4 [counter] => 258 [topic] => 25 [informant] => Emmie74 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

I love you too....The Three will always be here for you...even if I feel like running! You'll always come first, I hope you know that.
Love always,
Dee

This is really good. These are my feelings too. The razor is so comforting.
