I want to hurt.
I want to feel pain through me.
I want the burn it releases.
The way it hurts yet calms.
I used to fear pain.
Now it keeps me sane.
It's the thing keeping me here.
In this way of living.
My tears fall slowly then faster.
I need to be stopped.
I need to stop.
But it feels so good.
It releases me from my thoughts.
Takes me out of my mind's captivity.
Yet it slowly kills me.
Can anyone stop me?
I don't want to be stopped but I must.
Leave me be but come closer.
I can't make up my mind.
I want to pull you closer and shove you farther.
It holds me in a tight grip.
Can I ever let go?
