Thank you Razor Blade

The cool metal slides across my skin
Oh my god, I love that feeling
The feeling of pain
And what could be
The sweet scent is in the air
The sweetness of life
Seeping from my veins
And the razor gave me
This sweet release
I thank it
With every fiber left
In my being
It has been a great
Help
It has been my only
Friend
The one who always
Gave me
What I wanted
It gave me the greatest
Gift of all
It gave me death

Yes it is

really a great delivery - one of the best I have seen. A lot of feeling was put into it. I know what you mean Word I tend to feel that way too with most of them but I have to hand it to the author (NOT a razor) it is a super knock out deadly expression.

I do it with fire

rather than razors, but I think it means a similar thing. When the world is only pain only self inflicted pain has meaning. But it is not true, I am talking to you. There is meaning without pain, eventually. truly, Jess
