I don’t remember writing this


How I ache to slice and dice

To hold my soft flesh

And rip it to shreds. 

My guts boil and shriek 

My tongue jolts in chaotic seizures

My heart twists into a 

bloody wet rag

Dripping all my hope 

on to the floor 

But I sit still like a doll

With the needles pointing  

in all directions 

A tortured pathetic lump of clay 

Too weak to speak

But too strong to give in 

This is the life of an ex cutter 

A drained mother 

A regretful ex lover 

A shadow distorted 

on the side of the building 

That follows me 

wherever I go
