Crimson Reflections

Pumping through my veins
like the substances unknown
Loathing courses through arteries black
filling me head to toe
...

Steady is my hand
though my heart's flutter distracts
The metal sears my skin
as my fear and anger reacts
...

The blade digs and the pain spreads
I grit my teeth and bear it
The choice is mine to feel as dead
Though my body still inhabits
...

Wet eyes of every color
always cry, never dry
The guns, the violence, the fight for power
all the lies flying by
...

Cry, cry, cry for me
The tears won't fall from my eyes
Scream, scream, scream for me
The terror from my throat won't rise
...

Dig deeper, you have yet to reach my soul
Push harder, the blood barely flows
Cut further, I still feel whole
Stab faster, the hourglass runs low
...

Pain
Relief
Pain
Relief
...

She bleeds.
Ruby droplets pool upon the earthen floor, forming a
reflection of agony
She cries.
...

Agony and pain writhe in my stomach,
threatening to burst from my mouth,
burning my tongue as it passes by.
Betrayal and unrealistic hatred squirm within my lungs.
