I Cut You
It was during that time
We were not broken
Maybe a little lost
Lots of self pain talk
Cutting
I volunteered to slice you
You asked if I could do that
I said yes
That was all you asked
Hopefully you put it aside
A rainy day perhaps
I'm looking at a scab above my ankle
Long thin cut
No idea how I did it
Thought of picking the scab
Maybe leave a gentle scar
I'd do that for you too
I'm like that
Start to finish
Scars to remember kindly

I really love this. There is a feeling of kinship in a way. It’s hard to find that with people. Even if it’s something dark and unspoken.
The art is luscious.

"Scars to remember kindly" closes the edginess of this poem well. Good art pairing again. The figure on the right looks like a man. Was that intentional, or am I being weird? Whichever the case may be, this art piece is awesome- lots of energy.

You're right Pink
I didn't see that man like resemblance till you pointed it out.
I did the image before the poem but I have so many images that mix and match is easy. You're not weird. I'm pretty dented perhaps but it's fun that way !!
Thx P

Tenderness, almost disturbing devotion, vulnerability.... this is a wow write.
And the art, of course - perfect.

Well ouch. Touching write. Makes me want to offer band-aids though. And an ear to listen.

Wow PS
This is dark with sharp edginess. I guess in a world that's uncontrollable - makes you feel in
control of something. Even if it is painful. Never been into self harm - but this does give me
a window to look through - even if it's cracked:)
Big fan of the art as well.

Yeah
Broken windshield all the way and still driving with it
Sometimes you have to push the envelope to get into a comfort zone that looks scary but really is a gateway....
Appreciate the read and approval on the art. I love this image and I think it really works with the subject matter...

The contrast in choice of words, colors and stroke go hand in hand. They complement each other so well.
BIG LIKE.
