She cuts

Cold blade

Unsheathed, unfeeling

Upon her numb flesh

She cuts

Blood trickles

Drips oozes

Puddles

She cuts

Scarabs crawl

Beneath the scars

Scurrying to escape

She cuts

Finally a tingle

A single sensation

Pain reminding her

she's alive

She cuts

Everyday

Until someone awakens her

Teaches her to write love on her arms
