he puts the pencil to his skin

he puts the pencil to his skin
he likes the way pain feels
and he doesn't care what i say
he feels the need to do it
any way
so i just sit there
trying, failing
to keep him safe
the way he keeps me safe.
i try and keep things PG
there cant be anything
between him, and me
because i have some one
already
so we flirt a little
i smile
so does he
and as the blood flows
past the wound
i wonder what to do
and if i should let myself
fall for him
because he's caught me every time
before
