The blade:

The silver tipped blade dipped in an invisible toxin lies in my sight

Balancing lightly in the side of my drab view

It calls me like a mermaid luring a sailor to their watery death

I feel my small attraction

My need to slice and watch red spur from the slash

To watch it trickle

And to feel the pain as red cascades down the tanned complexion of my arm

Why must I be a cutter?

Why must I cut?
