My Blade

Pain cascades over me in waves
Veins calling for the calming sensation 
I grab for the thing that my wrist craves
It slides into my skin 
Like a train into its station, it belongs 
Dark red follows as it departs
My mind slows as the action calms my heart of hearts 
The object of course is my blade
It will always help always come to my aid
