Dirty Little Secret

I've got a dirty little secret,

wonder if people know

or do I hide it good enough,

so that it never shows.

 

The problem isn't under my skin,

But lays above the surface,

hidden from sight,

I know it's not right.

 

It might be the end,

But I won't pretend,

that I'm not afriad,

for i'm scared of that knife blade.

 

The cold metal against my skin,

the pain I don't feel inside,

he took it away with him

gone, waiting for it to be renewed.

god, there is something enchanting about this piece, i don't really know how else to describe it. it is good. like AMAZINGLY good.

there is something dark and haunting about it, but that really was what brought me in and drew me to it.

this piece is wonderful. i absolutely LOVE it and i hope to see more like it.

[side note: if this is real and you are talking about a real life experience, i'm here for you and you can message me if you ever want to talk, just so you know. and it doesn't even need to be about this in particular, if there is ANYTHING, no matter how "trival" it may seem, you can talk to me. i'm here even though i don't neccessarily know you, just wanted to let you know that]

but i loved this. i can't stop stressing that. the word choice, the flow.

GOD I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!!! <---- yes, all caps, i love it THAT MUCH

:)
