Blood stains my body like wine dribbled on a carpet from careless hands,
my lips though they may be scrubbed, are dirtied by own remorse.

Remorse for my very own faults, I pity my self for the pain that I put myself in.
This pain of mine is not caused by anything or anyone else but my own mind.

I may call it my friend, or the monster that lives in my bed, but this thing, it's all in my head.

I complain all the time about how this body of mine is constantly rejecting me, myself, and I, but really I am rejecting my own peace of mind.

It is like I have two different half's of me, the side that wants to get better and then there is the side that is constantly setting my progress aside.

I say I want to heal, but somewhere deep inside, I like the pain that is destroying my hands, my lips, and most of all my split mind.
