As the razor cuts
i tighten my teeth
it stings
a thousand bees puncturing at my arm
i feel empty
the pain is gone
drained
filled with something else
something more
the urge to do it agian
whispering in my ear
i am addicted
i can't fight these urges
i keep cutting
finally
i look down
so many
there's so much blood
what have i become
i close my eyes
and the rest is a faint memory.
