Battle Scars
The silver sharpness glided through my skin
I waited for the pain but none came
Tears of blood streamed down my wrist
I waited for the pain
But none came
Desperate to feel again
But no emotion burst forward
No feeling
The silver sharpness glided through my skin
I waited for the pain
I waited
I waited
It came
Feeling of relief
Emotions felt
How glorious
I smiled to myself
Amused at my sick humour
Realized as to how much you've changed me
For the better?
Or for the worse?
