---

One cut, open up.

Expose, alone.

Bleed out, removed.

Taken, empty.

Cut up, sewn up,

left to die, alone again.

Life shall continue,

lick my wounds.

Taste my failure,

revel in it.

Cut free from pain,

left to my own again,

trail of blood leads down,

the path that leads away from now.

Life goes on.
