Cut

[sunshine87]

Hi everyone! Let me know what you think! This one is bit darker in tone. Every bit of advice is helpful!

Cut
That night was so cold and empty and lonely
The curtains were drawn
You sat in the darkness
like a deserted light house overlooking
the craggy waters
you were lost
The moon and the stars had deserted you

It is a crisp, clean and innocent
Winter morning
The dead torn brown leaves crackle and crunch
Under your feet like the empty shells of insects
The leaves flutter, spin down and around you
Like memories
You try and see the link between each one
But you can’t

You get back and start to run the bath
The steam melts every shape into
faded broken silhouettes like lost ghosts
You strip
You admire yourself in the cloudy mirror
I admired you like that
I admired your navel
I admired the curves of your breasts
I admired you

The blade you use to cut
Is so sharp
You feel nothing
It melts into your skin
and vanishes

I wonder why
You did that
to yourself
Was i the cause?
Did you really care that much
About me?
Even after I had hurt
you?

I’ll never know.
