Cut

30 6 2
                                    

Left to right,
Line to line,
My skin burns
A deep
Crimson red.
With shame,
I walk
Towards my sink
To clean the sting
Of the freshly
Marked flesh
I have ruined.
I've done
It so
So
Many times before.
And each time
I feel
Ashamed,
Disappointed,
Hurt,
And relieved.
