I love you, my silver lover
You have soothed my pain and opened my heart
You allowed my world to be painless
I was faithful to you, my love
I kept coming back for satisfaction
But you betrayed me and my weakness became your obsession
You took advantage of me after I put full trust in you
My blood was you passion but you took it too far
You pushed me to my demise but I recovered and retaliated
I moved on and I am free from your claws of shame
For too long, I allowed you to hide in shame and create permenent scars
I will not allow it any longer
I will no longer make myself vunerable
And I will prevail
Author notes
I haven't cut for about probably 7 months...it was extremely hard. but I am almost 6 months pregnant and it isn't about me anymore. its about my son. he is my life and I am his. if he sees my weakness then how can I raise him properly? I hope u like it

I think this is very sad, though beautiful; cutting is tempting, and being able to throw away the blade is a feat in itself... What an amazing accomplishment! My hat is off to you!
I especially liked this bit:
"But you betrayed me and my weakness became your obsession/You took advantage of me after I put full trust in you/My blood was your passion, but you took it too far..."
This is the kind of poetic-device that can stop bullets, make your readers pause and say, "wow, that was spectacular!"
My only issue was with your punctuation. I'd love to help you clean this up, since I think that everyone deserves to hear your message, unobstructed and clear.
Your ANs also added a whole new dimension to this. Once you're a parent, it's about your child, and I'm so glad that you have seen that. My very best to you and the baby, and thank you for entering my humble little contest
Best wishes,
Laura
