Oh my Dollie.

Oh my Dollie.

A Poem by blue blue blue.
"

Just one more cut, one more burn. Release the bugs, release the blood.

"
A little scrape,
right there on your itsy bitsy wrists.
A bit of blood,
and just for good measure,
one more cut to hold them over.

Oh my dollie,
I know you'll never leave me.
Gleaming metal,
a God in my eyes.

A quick slash,
with your tiny blade.
Oh my dollie,
what a mess you've gotten yourself into.

Dots of blood,
on the surface.
Poking at your skin,
they drip onto your porcelain hands.

Oh my dollie,
why do you keep doing this to me.
I'm too trusting,
you can taste it inside me.
Your blood boils,
awaiting the release of mine.

You've got an itch,
and it wants my skin open against it's own.

Release the bugs,
release the blood.

Oh my dollie,
my savior,
my god.

Author's Note

blue blue blue.
I don't think anyone has really understood the poem yet.
It is not about a doll,
It is about someone self-harming.
'Dollie' is the razor.

It's amazing the pictures a person can paint with just a few simple words. Dolls are mostly seen as wonderful pretty little things but this poem shows the dark side of one of the things most little girls would love. Just goes to show how one imagination can change the view of the simplest things. Wonderful work hun. ^_^

Read your notes and have to say NO really a razor I had that image right away with the line

Gleaming metal, a God in my eyes.

self harm pieces usually have me changing page but this was written so well I just had to read, loving the lines

You've got an itch,
and it wants my skin open against it's own.

very graphic in a tender way almost sounds like a kiss two set of open lips touching. Beautifully done my friend, keep em' coming

i could say "please don't", but then that's been said to me.
i could ask, but i would be walking on thin ice
but here my mind goes playing it over and over to try to be sure
and asking and in need of asking the "why"
you are bring up such crucial points so many need to learn about
don' t stop it is very truly so important ...and done with such truth

I knew what you meant. I don't cut, but with OCD I do have urges. You portrayed this struggle and pain so well, one might think you suffer from this infliction. If you do, I'm very sorry my dear.............. The poem, very very good!
