Together

Trigger warning: self-harm, blood, graphic description, cutting

How is it

That the only things that put me back together is your hugs

Or these

Neat,

Thin,

Red,

Lines?

Stripes that lend me endorphins;

Columns that align my life.

My breathing stills, my heart slows, and it all melts away.

Together.

I feel together when I’m with you, or in these moments,

Looking at these feelings,

Drawn across my body;

Some white,

Some red.

Hope this finds you well,
