my heart stops in RED
but I want to keep going
the YELLOW lets me think
but I chose to gamble
GREEN stood out bright
but surely what’s
left wasn’t mine
to take.

The emptiness in my eyes,
The truth behind my lies,
The fall before my rise,
And the goodbyes;

It scares me.

The dark beneath my skin,
The light within my sins,
The voice that loudly sings,
And my broken wings;

It scares me.

The wounds I can't heal,
The pain I can't feel,
The loss I can't deal,
And when I am real;

It scares me.

The silence in my little talks,
The stillness in my moonlit walks,
The thought of separate ways,
And my numbered days;

It scares me.

The demons under my bed,
The words spinning in my head,
The blood in my sweat,
And my cold breath;

It scares me.

If loving her wasn't a crime,
Why do I still feel like I'm doing time?
Am I a prisoner of my own desires?

Just like an itch on a wound
An indication of healing,
But constantly tempted to scratch
I'm aware that is bad, it will only open the wound deeper.

So is this heartbreak for you,
I keep wanting you back,
But it will only open up my wounds
I want to love you regardless,
But I know I'll just keep getting hurt

I’m addicted to the feel of cold metal sliding across bare flesh
Addicted to the instant
when nothing marks smooth skin
immediately before
red rivers rapidly rise
painting a once white canvas
with a flood of emotion,
tears on my cheeks,
sobs caught in my throat,
numbness replaced by pain & sadness.
Addicted to the imperfection
of red welts and dotted scabs that follow,
fingers drawn like magnets
to the texture of healing skin,
tracing over and over and over now fading ridges
Amazed that I am strong enough
to heal myself over and over and over.
Convincing myself that I am strong enough.
I find strength in my weakness.
