Bruising against my skin

The sin I inflict within

I don't mind.

A victim of the paradigm

I didn't really mind.

__

Bruise within, breathe without

I changed my mind

Without a doubt

__

Blood loss beckons

I transgress

A kiss would heal me

I regress

__

No needle pricks my skin

I'm already numb within

A victim of the paradigm

Don't pretend you noticed

I don't mind.

__

I don't mind

__

Never mind.
