Cutting More and More (MAJOR TW for self-injury)



I cut
Deeper and deeper
And longer and longer
Until blood pours
From my cuts,
Slowly but steadily.
More and more appear
To form a river of blood.
Red,
Dripping,
Flowing.
My heart and mind
Are no longer
The only things
Consisting of a darkness,
A red bloody mess.
