I cut because I need to

It opens up my soul

I cut because I miss you

Wanting you to return

I cut because the pain

Is all that I can feel

No longer does the

Sweetness of love and life

Dwell within my heart.

No more sweet thoughts of you

Or the life I thought we’d share

No more planning on lasting forever

Just me here and you there

So close in my world

Yet so far in reality

No more I love you’s

Or sweet hugs that last forever

Just me here and you there

I slice because it’s wonderful

And gives me a much needed high

Poisoning my once found soul

Tearing me from within

Trying to take control

I slice because its all I love

Now that you aren’t here

I slice because I want to

I slice because it releases

The anger buried within

The anger I’ve had since you left

The anger that dwells where

A caring heart once beat

No more beating heart

Or a once found soul

Just me here and you there

No longer will we last forever

No longer will I feel your embrace

No longer will I need to cut

No longer will I need to slice

For I am coming to join you

And there will be no more -

“Just me here and you there”

There will only be

Just you there, and me

The one who came to follow.
