I tried to cut today
My heart was heavy
But when the knife licked my skin
Something strange happened
For the first time, it would seem
I felt the pain of the metal bite
And the blood
- it was only just a tiny bubble -
Was far more frightening than all of my fears
So with shaking, shocked fingers
I pulled my long time friend away
Go home
I said
Tucking him back into the closet
There will be no cutting today
