The Blade's Kiss
The Blade is so shiny.
It calls my name
and longs to be used.
It tells my that my flesh
is so beautiful.
It just wants
to feel.
i pick it up
and let It kiss my wrist.
It opens me up.
The warm blood
feels so good
running down my arm.
It compliments me
and drowns out
the ridicule
and shame
my peers give me.
It says that
i am beautiful
this way.
i let It
kiss me again.
It feels so good
going into me.
i let It kiss me
and It takes advantage of me
i tell it to stop
but in reality
i don't want It to.
i put It down
and look at the damage
I did.
It says that i'm beautiful
but i look at what i did.
It lied to me.
i wash away the blood
but the cuts stay.
The shame stays.
i let the shame scab
and then scar.
A permanent reminder
of what i did.
i let It kiss me again.
It makes me feel
too damn good
inside.
Inside.
That's where It goes.
It goes inside me.
It says sweet nothings
but It reminds me
that I'm ugly.
that I'm ashamed.
that I'm ridiculed.
that I'm useless.
that I'm being used
by It.
because
It
is being used by
Me.
