Oh my Dollie.

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

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. ^_^

Oh this one seems so to drip with pain, sadness and frustration and the search to release it. Dollie may use one way to get the release, but there are others, less temporary ones. I enjoy writing for it can accomplish best release I have found. One benefit to writing versus other forms is that it can be examined later and learned from where other ways seem more destructive and less productive with no chance at a permanant type of release. Just washed down the drain only to build up again. Poor Dollie...for she cannot speak out to release her stuff like writing can; I am glad you chose writing.
