Poem to A Cutter

Close your eyes unto the night
no hand to hold to take the knife
This feelings inside,
no tears to cry
I watch out the window and wish to die
as blood drips down as it beads at my thigh
who once held denial in the blade of a razor
in this found a savior
A change from the familiar anguish
a more tolerable ache the one you create
this is not suicide it's my proof I'm alive
I can't escape all your tension
so I became a pin cushion
This is my poem to a cutter
who can no longer cry
this is my poem to a cutter
This is how we survive.

i dog some points in this poem.. i was a cutter... i guess i still am at heart.. but i dont anymore because im afraid to hurt the only circle of friends i have. good poem nonetheless. <3Dommi

On Thursday July 24th, 2003, anathema (62) writes:

it's not survival. i dated a cutter, and she mutilated me far more often than herself. she'd slice her skin w/o any thought of how hurt i'd be by it. and i see how selfish and stupid it can be.

to be completly honest i am a cutter, adn theres 2 things.....1) its easily concealed, and 2) you have to talk about it to inform others, if not it either becomes a fear of a facade of deficate

On Thursday July 24th, 2003, anathema (62) writes:

i was a cutter. and i talked about it. i do BDSM instead, and let others decide how to punish myself, since it's a punishment thing. so i stopped. but it's really hard to deal with when you date someone who does it.

my last gf and i were both masochistic and sadistic, we were both cutters, it was intresting

On Thursday July 24th, 2003, anathema (62) writes:

i'm a bit of both. and it is interesting. but there's a difference. see, with something where you both agree to it... not only can he decide i've bled him too much... i can decide it's too much, and stop cutting him.
