"Look at me, I'm a tiger!"
Each stripe earned with a hateful fire
Given to her a silver blade
Glistening dim light,
The only way for her to save

"Look at me, I'm a tiger!"
The bigger stripes are earned, and aimed higher
Harder for her to hide,
Pulling down sleeves for the strive

Poor child, what's made you this way?
"My mouth was silent, but my mind was screaming."
Is it decieveing?
"Not again."
What?
"Hide."
Hide? Hide what?
"My sides, my stripes, they're getting deeper, they're getting longer, I'm becoming a tiger. My claws my knifes."
Razors, blades, knifes, your skin the slate?
"Indeed. I'm the bait."
Dear, I'm sorry-
"No, you're not."
I am. I love you.
"Love hurts at the end. I bend, I break, it's a terrible fate. You've hurt me before, you wish to hurt me again? It won't hurt now, but it will in the end. I know it does. I know it will. If you leave me then, leave me now."
I won't, I promise.
"I promised that I wouldn't cut. But now I'm a tiger."

This is how I feel
My cuts will always be aimed higher
