• CUTTEROTICA.
    Joseph Martinez

    Deep in pain, I came to find that arazor sharp kiss dulled my mind.
    The deeper the sadness, the deeper my slice.
    Steeped in cold tears, my dark heart turned to ice.
    I live within a flesh-blood cage; my dreams are nightmares that never stop.
    My dim mind swims in the hell I have made and my weak body termbles with each crimson drop.
    I think myself more purified the further my soul bleeds out and cries.
    Alone with my flesh wound, I feel a false life;
    Too confused to seek love or to fear such sweet lies.

    My suffering is chaotic, but now it is all that I can feel.
    The bite of steel in my skin is hypnotic, enough to make my life unreal.

    At times, it seems that my one way to happiness is shut.
    In vain, I seek to kill my pain and raise my razor for the cut.
