Not Yet

I finish the note.

It’s only meant for him.

I hope someone gives it to him,

So he can see my apology.

He has to know that this isn’t his fault.

It’s all mine.

I pick up my knife,

And put it against my thigh.

Just once more,

I say aloud.

One more punishment

For hurting him like this.

I push the blade into my skin.

Not too deep, not too shallow.

I want it to hurt, but not to kill.

Not yet.
