Just a Scratch

This is a painful piece, just for me. It's not good so don't read it unless you really want to.

Don't know where to start
Today I nicked my finger
Today I nicked my heart
One scabbed over
The other's still bleeding

My angels they are waiting
For my sadness to begin dissipating

My digression
In wanting more than I need
My obsession
Growing with every impulse I feed

Just wanting to make this better
Just making my cheeks wetter

Wanting something to be better now
Wanting to fix something, but I don't know how
Welcome suffering in again with open arms
As it throws itself around inside me causing harm

Not knowing why I let this hurt me

Remembering how this hurt you

Wishing that I could just stop and See

Guess it doesn't matter that I feel the pain now too

I can't seem to ever just let this be

Caring brings my suffering
Stifles my soul when I try to sing
Never was good at singing anyway
So I guess tonight in Darkness I will stay

Today I nicked my finger
Today I nicked my heart
