-Sick Addiction-

It's a sick addiction

to blood loss and pain.

Rip the knife through my vein

and watch the blood slowly drain.

I can't escape this feeling,
these scars and these stains.

It's an uncontrollable urge.

Impossible to refrain.

If this knife is my syringe,

then these cuts are my heroin.

All reasons have escaped me

yet I pick up the blade again.

Lack of motive, 

but I still cut the skin.

To describe this feeling,

I couldn't begin.

Inflict the pain

with not a chance for tears.

Blood always falls first.

It has for years.

It's a sick addiction

to blood loss and pain.

Once again I take the knife

and blood pours out of my vein.
