Precious Metal

Oh! Hello there precious metal.
When did you get here?
And can you relieve the stress
From those I held so dear?
Just slip across the surface.
A quick sting and release.
A tinge of blood and a line
To put my mind at ease.
Peer down a while later.
Clean with a bold streak.
How lovely, but I know I should stop.
Yet I'm sure that I'm too weak.
Hello again precious metal.
I have a new bracelet from you!
What a pleasant little gift.
Perhaps one more will do...
Read between the lines,
Names are written bold.
My precious metal's souvenir
For no one to behold.
Go now precious metal,
I think you need a rest.
I'll be fine without you.
Or at least I'll do my best.
Hello precious metal.
Now look at what we've done.
I know that I should stop now,
But I've already begun.
Please precious metal,
Relieve me of my pain.
You may give a quick sting,
But I'm too numb from disdain.
Come here precious metal.
It's our time alone.
No one must know about us,
From reactions of who I've shown.
Oh precious metal,
Look how you've addicted me so.
Those were one too many blood drops,
It's time for you to go.
Oh hello there precious metal.
How is it that you've been?
Myself, I'm perfect lately.
And the scars are wearing thin.
I'm finding myself smiling more.
I have other ways to deal.
Now I use less hazardous things
So I can let myself heal.
Hello there precious metal.
I have no more use for you.
Goodbye forever precious metal.
I'm finally through with you.
