42) Per Se

Sometimes

I just can't resist

the sensation

of thumbs on corners

of scabs, and

winter air on

biting bleeding lips.

Sometimes I just can't resist

nail and skin clash,

I'm trash

and I like iron on my tongue,

rust, salt. Sometimes

I just can't stop myself from

letting out a few silent screams.

Fuck, I fucked up again,

fuck, I failed again

and I can't resist the texture

of scarring skin or peeling back

what happened before.

Well shit, look what I done now.
