Shedding Red

Remember, you are beautiful.

She is a Flower, Shedding Red.

The scars on her skin

Once bled rivers of Red

She opens her wounds

The blood drips down her bed.

The blade goes in

She marks again

Her scars pulse in red

Her mind goes blank

Her heart went numb

The rivers were flowing

From deep inside

The streams inside

Fall from her eyes

A Stinging nose and

A ball in her throat

A clench in her fist

Thunder rolling over her abyss

Her suffering ends like this.

She says...

“I wish I could drift”

She wipes her cheeks

And brushes her hair

Grabs the Band aid

To cover the layers

She walks away from a scene

Of shame

Into the world,

Where everything fades...

A false smile comes across her lips

And I feel it inside

Through her grip

It brings me to tears that

It brought her to this..

The Scars on her skin

pierce my heart like pins...

And I’ll never know how to take her away from this...
