Cutter

You tell me you deserve it
You tell me it’s no big deal
Can you even hear the crap you’re telling me?
Are you even in tune with this world: the one that’s real?

You say you only do it once or twice a month
I don’t care if you only do it once a year!
This way of ‘dealing with it’ doesn’t work
It doesn’t help you face your fears!

And you’re doing it all because of HIM?!?!
He isn’t even worth it!
You’re hurting yourself with every razor stroke
And he probably doesn’t give a shit.

How do you deserve this?
He hurt you, you didn’t break his heart
Yet you treat yourself like the villain
Each day, you tear yourself apart

I thought I could help you
I thought I’d be the one to get you to stop
But, I saw the new scars on your wrists
Now I realize I can do nothing but watch your spirit drop

You have everything to live for
More than I could dream of. But, if you refuse to stop, go ahead
Just know that I can’t stand to see you like this
I can’t think of you in pain. You: one I can truly call my friend
