Cut the Pain Away

You see I told them I told them what abandonment does to me

The pain that it makes me feel

The ache in my heart and my soul, it seems to stay and never go away

They were warned;

They knew about it yet they did it anyway

They did the one thing that I myself couldn't handle

They did the one thing that is near impossible for my body to recover from

And because of that I now sit alone on a cold hard floor with no one around

No one there to give me a hug or a shoulder to cry on

So I turned to the only thing I know

...

Which is pain

The pain of a cold sharp blade running across my skin my arms and my neck

It gives me that small break away from the emotional pain and turns into physical pain

...

Just for a moment,

I feel like I can breathe again that I can see things clearly now

But there's a weakened part of me

Because it will never allow the blade to go as deep as my heart wants it to go

It always stays on the surface,

Delivering a brief amount of sharp pain

But nothing deep enough to fully take the pain away

Tears flow from my eyes not only from the emotional pain

But from the pain I feel as to what I wish to do

...

Thinking about all those it would hurt

A part of me not really caring,

Just wanting to be away from it all

...

And the fear

The fear is what gets to me

Fear of the unknown

...

The disappointment

That I have allowed myself to get to this point

That I can't calm my emotions

...

And for someone like me

The emotions are too strong

They take over your body

And rush through every cell, bone, and organ

It makes me rash

It makes me bold

It chokes me

Until I can't breathe anymore

...

All I want in this moment

Is to cut the pain away
