Shell 2.
--------
Cut me, and I’ll bleed
Though I won’t feel a thing
Slice me with your heated words
And watch me watch you,
Quiet. If I bleed, I live,
And if I live, I’m not dead,
And if this is what it takes,
So be it.
Desperate.
Yes, that’s the word. Desperate.
Desperate to feel, to laugh, to hold you in my arms
And feel something out of nothing
For once.
Cut me, and I’ll bleed
And I’ll thank you for your time
And I’ll maybe feel the pain
If I’m lucky.

Apathy is worse than over-sensitivity sometimes.

Sounds like a powerful outcry for help.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
