feelings on my skin
your fingers so soft
 my blade, so sharp
 both are fatal,
 both weaken me 
 but these feelings,
 they're what I need
 these feelings sustain me 
 the prick of pain as cloth
 rubs against open wound
 these clothes are my veil
 they hide what you don't know
 cool touch of glass 
 as my hands hit the mirror
 feeling of tears 
 as they spill down my face 
 my blood is running 
 and my breath is slowing
 so now I'm dreaming,
 warm breath on my cheek 
 your arms around my waist 
 cold snow falling
 dancing in the rain
 I feel no pain here
 feeling of comfort
 of support 
 these feelings on my skin,
 both fatal.
 all weaken me.
