I Promise

You're cutting again
And this is getting old
You knew I stopped
So please don't start
You're sadness hurts
More than you
It's killing me
Very slowly

When you cry
I'll be right here
That friend for you
To hold and love
And when you bleed
I'll heal your wounds
Because I've always been here
From day one
Even if you don't know it
You're the one I want to save

So please don't cut
You're oh so beautiful
Don't scar up your body
Because hun, it's not worth it
You may think it's over
But life has just begun
And I promise I will care for you
And love you to the end

Author notes

Not written about anyone imparticular, I think it's sort of a poem to myself, from me, and a message to anyone who has started cutting, please stop? It's not worth it, no not at all.
If you know anyone who cuts, or want to stop visit twloha.com it's a non-profit organization who helps with kids who suffer with depression. My friend got me into when I cut, it helped, and now I want to help you.
And thank you so much for the creator of the contest, it's great you're getting the word around

    I used to write what I needed to hear to myself, as well. It's where the obsession for words was born in me, and it definitely got me through some dark times. Thanks tons for entering!

    There's always love enough out there to make it.

    I like the analysis of emotional damage done by self-harm in the first paragraph. I only did it because it seemed like the only way to get a hold on my own emotions without bothering other people. But, as I realized it was hurting them to learn the truth, I really broke down, which is the point I had to reach in order to build myself back up from scratch. If you're hurting yourself in any way, it's important to realize that you're hurting those around you far more.

    Take care,
    K-J
