Sin of the blade

Ode to the younger side of me

The cries of faith
they take to me like wounds
I bleed the honest cries
to feel the pain of life
I would rather fear life than death
the blood of yesterday stains the sink
no time now
the rush comes like a high
 
Then, now the world comes back
the hurt
the pain
the cries come forth
I yell out
someone save me
 
I long for a friend
but no one is in reach
nothing to do but go forth to more
 
The fate is sealed
the lights fade
I move closer
now closer
closer to death
life slips from my veins
 
Then
from deep inside
a voice says come to
I pull closer to God
He is there to hold me
I believe
 
I am saved from the pit
I have something to live for
fate found me
it’s over for now
 
time to stich these wounds
time to live for the future
time to live for God

(2014)

A piece of me from childhood. I had a rough time in my early years due to my parents divorce. I needed an escape and cutting was mine for quite a while.
