Sharpen the implements
to rend your flesh apart.
Dig deep into your pallid skin,
and pull the layers slowly asunder.
Skin...
Muscle....
Sinew.....
Bone.
And maybe as I dismantle your shell,
I will lose my desire
to cut deeply into flesh
and watch my own blood run red.
Maybe if I painlessy and mentally
remove your armor,
you will not be able to take away mine,
and you will never find what is hidden,
deep inside.
Fear...
Pain....
Bleeding Scars.....
Broken Heart.
And maybe I will be safe.
