Rivulets

A silver glint of a sharper edge  
Impatient as fuck for a river to dredge  
Trembling fingers and expectant breath  
"I swear on my life it won't lead to my death"  
I just want it to hurt, so I turn the blade  
I rip my skin open and let myself fade  
It's agony; keeping my thoughts from that bliss  
Months may have passed, but you're certainly missed  
I miss it so much, my skin sings for the pain  
But I cannot succumb, lest my bedsheets get stained  
I have a reason to live, but I'd still like to die  
For fucks sake, it's been so long since I've cried  
Rivulets, rivulets come back to me soon  
Just help me hide it, at least until noon  
I can't stand the sun, they will send me away  
Okay. Fine. I can wait another day.

I really want to reopen multiple scars. Trying not to. I just can't fucking deal anymore
