Self-Harm


I need to bleed to see if I'm alive

I need to bleed to seek and die,

I need to lie and say, "I'm alright."

I hope that I'm not cutting tonight;

I can't deny this; I keep living

this painful life...

 

I need to die this isn't a lie

when the day comes no one will cry,

I want to love,

love does not want me;

You fucking killed me...

 

I need to cut so I can feel you,

close to me again oh my friend,

I need to die; I need to die...

 

I loved you. Do you love me?
