Electric Currents
One with slashes on her wrists. Another with murder in her thoughts. Neither took another look at each other, not since the first time. Accidental, but it meant something greater. It's like they were born to be one, and it seems so real. Another slash, another step towards what the other wants. And she is not patient. She is not broken. She, is not stepping away. And hasn't she learned her lesson? Of course she hasn't. She will kill again and again. The other, she will make as many swift movements as she can. Until she feels weak, tired, and her eyes feel... dark. Black curtains cascade over her sight and she is finally finished. The other one just needs more few steps into a greater cause, and what a sight it is. She finally feels angry, not towards anyone... But herself. She could've helped, she could've saved her. But maybe this was a sign, that she should've saved herself.

Feb. 6th, 2016: After coming back to this piece after almost two years, I feel like this mis-represents me. It's a good piece of mine, a lot of people seem to like it, but I don't think it represents me at all. Maybe back then, but not anymore.
