Trigger Warning this chapter contains blood and the mention of self-harm. so if it makes you uncomfortable, please scroll past angels <3

It isn't up until this point that I realize I'm at my lowest again. The familiar feeling of blood running down my thighs as I scrape the piece of metal through my skin, sliding it through like butter. The pain is almost comforting, yet discomforting at the same time. 

I watch as the blood slowly drips onto the floor, slowly in sync with the faint ticking of the clock in the next room. I begin to cut even deeper the pain soon becoming unbearable, the familiar feeling of déjà vu begins to overpower me as I slowly watch more and more blood spills out of me.

This relapse has by far been the worst one, almost 5 fucking months I made it through without slipping into this addiction, but now I've fallen back into it and God, I've fallen hard. I contemplate making one last cut and putting an end to all the pain as my vision becomes a blur from the tears brewing in them.

I twirl this razor in between my fingers and clench it in my palm, I suddenly feel very guilty for allowing myself to slip back into my old ways, but at the same time I feel very calm and at peace, as odd as it is.

Somehow I work up the motivation to put the razor away and live on another day until we meet again old friend.
