Scratch Through Poem by Elisha De La Rosa

Dripping red dotted lines
An itch hard to find
I scratched through my bone
I scratched into my soul

Something is missing from my life
Something seems to be out of line
I scratched deep into my past
Revealed something ugly behind the glass

Here I lay to waste
My memory lacked of taste
I remembered seeing your lips part
Your fingers clawed into my heart

Is it something I've done?
This itch won't leave me alone
Phantom, where have you gone?
This lingering mystery haunts my soul.

Crimson sin seeps down my arms
The memory of you is gone
I only remember the scars
I scratched too hard!

I can't redeem myself.
Escape from the guilt
The pain I've felt
I am destroying what we've built.

I want to forget
No longer feeling any regret
The itch still screams for you
I scratched away the truth
