Cuts

It numbs the

Pain, as the blood

Mixes with salt,

Blends with hurt,

And creates a

Damaged human

It dulls the

Heartache, as the darkness

Consumes the light,

Hides the bruises,

And allows for

Silent suffering

It soothes the

Mind, as thoughts

Take over logic,

Hold hostage sanity,

And all that seeps through is

Surrendered defeat
