Just so nobody worries, I'm okay. The last time was about 3 or 4 years ago. I just over-worked my arm at band practice this week, and the extra pain caused by old nerve damage reminded me of this...

Reminders

Odd
that I don't remember
the bite of the blade
across my wrist,
the despair that had
swallowed me
that night,
or even
why I
stopped
when
my blood
began to
stain the floor.

Only
a faint burning and
a thin, pale line
remain,

my only reminders

of the moment
when
I almost
ended.
