Not so similar

I gasped when we first met
At our awkward similarity
Different in every way
But one
We share a love
For our own blood
And somehow it turns you on
But I can’t explain
How different we really are
I don’t know
How to help you understand
The motives behind my actions
I do this for anything but
Pleasure
I do this
Because I hurt
Because it helps me breathe
Because it’s the only release
That I have
And I hear you in the next room
With her
And with each tear my heart sheds,
A drop of blood crawls down my arm
And I know
That we’re not so similar
After all
