The razor edge
That dulls my pain
The darkness pledged
This is my gain

The blade drawn soft
Across one wrist
In victory loft
A bloody fist

The hurt inside
Replaced by lines
The deathly bride
Gives final signs

These crimson lips
That speak for me
As violence drips
Through agony

Scream hidden woes
To deafened ears
The wordless prose
Of my dry tears

The lips grow mute
My cry is lost
There’s no pursuit
Who’d pay the cost?

Those scarlet lips
Now sealed again
Shame takes a grip
Where was the gain?

The suffering’s deep
I know full well
The wisdom keeps
Don’t build this hell

The moment’s pain
Intoxicates
But nothing’s slain
Outside those gates

Just so people don't misinterpret me and get the wrong idea I'm not condoning this type of thing, I'm doing the complete opposite and questioning it's value. Oh and this isn't written from my perspective it's for a friend.
