Sweet Song

I Sit in this darkness...
My Home... My Bliss...
This Hot Flame My Only Light.
I Stare Into it...
Its Mesmerizing.
The Eternity of this second...
Throbs At My Veins.
But I wont Cut.

Instead i only listen...
To the sweet song...
To the passing beats...
As i bring the lighter to my arm.
The Heat makes me flinch.
Fist clenched...
I hear All My knuckles Crack.
Still not Releasing my grip...
On The source Of my Ecstasy.
This Lighter Contains Evil...
Yet at the same time Banishes Mine.

I Listen to my throbbing veins...
Now Covered with black skin.
Their Sweet song is soothing...
I Needed Some way to escape.
Finally Putting the flame Out...
The lighter pressed to my stomach.
I Dragged it Across... Slowly...
All the while listening;
To My heart beat, to Nothing.

As The Burns Cool Off;
I tear away at my dead Skin.
Bleeding i listen to the blood...
it drips Out 1 drop at a time.
Splashing on the floor...
As if telling me a message.
I Don't Say i word...
I Just Listen.
I Am in total Peace...
I Hear Pains Sweet Song.
