Almost forgets why she cuts

“X” marks the spot,
where blood flows down her wrist,
The “X” she makes takes away the pain,
and she slowly balls up her fist.

A tear runs down her cheek,
and she smiles softly,
for the tear is a sign of relief,
and for a moment she forgets the pain.

She forgets all of the lies,
she forgets as her eyes shut,
Her wrist finally stops bleeding,
as she almost forgets why she cuts.
