My hunger for pain is unquenched.
For long have I unknowingly
craved the sharpness to cut myself wide open.

Baring the fiery passion
that has kept me alive in the darkness.
The red finds its way to the surface as
the silver relieves my soul from
its torment.

The skin splits,
sorrow spilling over the sides.
the experience of cutting

Why do people cut? does the pain fell good because of depression or...?

because I'm writing a book and it's supposed to be completely serious and one of my characters is cutting, however I've never cut myself and I don't want to look like a dumb ass when I get to that part.

also, this is very nicely written, the last line was the most beautiful part, though it's hard to choose from the others with you skill in language.
