on topic confessions of a cutter
What I never told you
Is how much I needed you.
You were so sure of
Everything that I was unsure of.
You were there to hold me
When I was scared
And you never seemed so afraid.
And then your belief was pulled away
And my world fell apart.
What you never saw
Was how I fell apart.
As soon as you hung up the phone
I cried & cried
And then drank the tears away.
A few days later
I started carving pretty designs on my arms.
And I blamed you
And I hated you.
What you need to know
Is that it wasn't your fault.
I know that you only
Did what you had to do.
I love you and
I understand.
And I forgive you.
Even if you didn't realize
You needed to be forgiven.
Author notes
Freewrite. I kind of like it...
Yes, for the most part, this actually happened. Yes, I used to cut. Yes, I'm better now. Yes, I think I still love the person who was the cause of my cutting to start with.
But no, I did not drink.
And no, this poem did not take the direction I had originally intended for it to go in (they very rarely do).
I'm pretty sure there was something else I was going to say, but I don't remember now.
