Dear Cutting

Dear Cutting,
Through many of my toughest times, you have been there for me. At times, you were my greatest comfort, and at times I thought you were my only friend. But I was wrong, and that is why I'm writing this letter to you.
I don't need you anymore. You tricked me into your steely arms, saying that you were the only comfort, and that you were my greatest friend, but a friend doesn't hurt another friend on purpose, and for so long, you have done just that, reach in my chest and rip my heart out.

Slashes on the wrist, exposed the flesh of my body. Open wound, numb with self hatred. Dripping upon the tile of the bathroom floor, I bled. A Kiss by death's icy lips drained my face's blush. The heated sadness slid from my porcelain face. Salt and bitter crimson blinds spoken lies. Curdling screams sliced my mind in two. I am not human. Memory of his cold eyes pierced my body blue.
"I can't be with you!..you're crazy..you..yo...you've lost it. You're evil!"
He...he made me kill today. He made me kill my evil eyes and bleed my life away.
I died on a Monday. Today is Monday. I died today. Today he left... left me to decay.
Why couldn't have I been sane?
