Sweet Relief

Smooth and sharp,

It bit into my yielding flesh,

It hurt, yet it was sweet.

Blood dripped from my wrist,

Pooling red, a tiny river

As I stared, hyponotized.

I lay it down,

Through for the night

As I watched it steadily drip.

It's like I'm in a dream,

Watching as it leaks out,

It doesn't hurt much, but the sensation is powerful.

It's an addiction,

It's somehow sweet, soothing.

It is my simple reliever.
