Why Cant I Stop?

why cant i stop?
the scars on my arms 
they wont go away
why cant i stop?
i might aswell
be killing myself
why cant i stop?
my body cant take it
not anymore
why cant i stop?
it stings
but it feels good
why cant i stop?
the blood is flowing
the cut is growing
why cant i stop?
my heart is breaking
my hands are shakeing
why cant i stop?
please help me stop
my refuge has died
why cant i stop?
i have died inside 
my mind is numb
why cant i stop?
