MEET MY NEW FRIEND


7/21/13

With every wave

sends soaring pain

stinging deep

searing heat

 

Brand new and shiny

cold to its core

hard Armour metal

sharp to a point

 

Meet my new friend

he's never afraid

he will cuddle my thigh

and snuggle my wrist

 

My thighs always scarred

and my wrist always stained

but its not his fault

i push him too far

 

He cheers me up

and picks me up

and knows

how to take the pain away

 

Meet my new friend

hes shiny and cold

sharp as a blade

and always thirsty for blood
