Self-Harm Addiction

My heart beats faster
My blood running like a river
Life in my body
The sound of your voice
The touch of your hand
My mind twists violently
Telling me of a lovely love
Turning me towards the blade
It cuts me open and I bleed
I bleed out my life's blood because of you
Sweet pain
Sweet, heavenly pain!
You are my master and friend
Till my blood runs out and I have no more
No more love left in my heart
Only emptiness
So if you must take away my life, my being...
Let me savor it, even if the pain itself kills me
Let me cling to the stake on fire
Let me burn,
It is my choice,
My one desire.
So leave me be
Let my soul be free
