Things you cut.


wanted to write a pretty poem tonight, but this came out instead.

i've cut class
and i've cut my veins
i've cut paper
and animal remains
i've cut into wood
and cut into glass
i've cut up some drugs
and i've cut the grass
i've cut my legs shaving
i've cut them free will
i've cut up grapefruits
i've cut up the bills
i've cut costs
taken short cuts
and cut off my hair
i've cut food to cook
and i've cut to prepare
i've cut in line
and i've cut people off
i've cut in, cut it out
and cut down on stuff
but no cut has ever hurt quite as badly
as hearing you're cutting ties
with me
(and not sadly).
