"The Shake/Edgy Bitch"

***
So you did it again.
Another wound, another scar
You'll never stop, don't you?
You cut yourself, you cut my soul
You cut right through my mind
The floor is red, all walls are red
The world is painted blood
All in your breath, all in your eyes
All in my clenched fists
I can not stop you, I wish I could
I wish I was a flame
To melt the steel, to burn the wood
To keep you, kid, away
Can't you just stop?..
"No, not today," you said to me with grin
Then... just stab me, why hurt yourself?
"You must be kidding, right?"
I grab the knife. A fucking knife.
And make a fearless cut.
You hear it, Violet? You see it, girl?
I think you should to stop.
