Addiction

It's an ADDICTION

something secret
    and hidden
late at night
    no lights
set the tap running
    stuff towels under the door
no longer blindly fumble
    I always put my razor in its place
saw at the skin
    cut jagged tonight
let it bleed
    more than ever
don't bandage it up
    I won't care if it kills me
finally
    blood is tinting
water red
    wipe the blade clean
put it back
    where it belongs
drain the sink
    and make sure
that nothing remains
    of my addiction.

Author notes

Sparkword: Addiction. A new style. I love how when I typed this up, I was bleeding at the wrist, only this time it was an accident (damn paper cut me again ).

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!
