Love Letter to My Razor

See

You and i
What we have is a love-hate relationship
And even though its going to pain me to do this
I kinda figure you’re gonna be able to relate to it
i. . .
gotta let you go
you’ve hurt me so good
and although we’ve bled together
you are not good for my soul
you damaged the most visible parts of me
to give a voice to the part of me that no one could see
and I hear you
loud and clear baby
the fat lady has sung
and the curtains have closed
because our love was built on a foundation
of my failures unsewed
I must admit that I used you
Took your beautiful, sharp edges
And showcased my ugliness
Bared my teeth when you and I were alone
With you, I permanently inscribed the lyrics to my soul’s poem
So lines that will never fade into the background
Serve as a permanent reminder of pain I couldn’t take
Inflicted on a life I had no desire to live
I love you
But I’ve just got to leave
Because being with you chips away at the very best parts of me
And I only love you
Because you teach me how to hate myself so well
So to this love-hate relationship
I’m saying farewell
And eventually, I’ll learn how to deal when shit hits the fan
And life’s fecal matter is splayed across my face
But I can’t use you anymore
Because I want a chance to live the life you threatened to erase
I’ll always remember your cold, gleaming smile
And the edginess that cut deep;
Made my tears run a river of red
I love you
But somebody else will be sleeping in your bed
I’m moving on
