This Will Be Your Last Cut Poem by Caroline Godwin

You slice your arm, watch it bleed

this will be your last cut

The crimson thrill that you need

this will be your last cut

The note beside you explains why

this will be your last cut

If anyone will even cry

this will be your last cut

You hope your family doesn't see

this will be your last cut

The mutilation you set free

this will be your last cut

Your breathing starts to slow now

this will be your last cut

In guilt and shame, your head you bow

this will be your last cut

A final prayer you begin

this will be your last cut

'Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.'
