Keep My Pain (TW for self-injury and mention of su!c!de)
These scars are fading
But I want them to stay.
My wounds are healing
But I want them to bleed.
The blood is drying
But I want it to flow.
The pain is easing
But I want to feel the sting again.
Death is leaving
But I want to feel its grim presence.
The sun is rising
But I want to stay in the darkness.
I want to stay here forever
But the light has seized me by the wrist
And taken me to its homeplace of the sun
Where I wait and wait
For the darkness to come and rescue me
And take me back to the shadows
Where I want to be.
