The first time
The first time I made the cut,
I was filled with pain,
suffering,
agony,
grief,
and longing.
I didn't do it because of my pain,
I did it because of his.
I wanted to know what he felt.
I couldn't imagine that it helped.
But maybe I had to do it myself to understand.
The first time I picked up the knife,
tears ran down my face.
The first time I felt the blade slide across my wrist,
I took a step into his world.
The first time I watched the blood drip,
all I could think of was him.
