In the privacy of the bathroom Lock the door Check it twice Pull out the small plastic box Take out your weapon Smile Hot water to clean A silver blade to cleanse Bleed away the memories Watch it twining down your leg Like a scarlet ribbon Wrapping itself around your calf A red river going down, down, down Swirling, twirling into the drain Staining the tub red My legs hurt The blood is seeping through I leave smudges on my bed sheets And risk discovery when wearing shorts But the scars are so beautiful Do you think, that if you close your eyes You'd be able to read them like braille?

Read My Scars
In the privacy of the bathroom Lock the door Check it twice Pull out the small plastic box Take out your weapon Smile Hot water to clean A silver blade to cleanse Bleed away the memories Watch it twining down your leg Like a scarlet ribbon Wrapping itself around your calf A red river going down, down, down Swirling, twirling into the drain Staining the tub red My legs hurt The blood is seeping through I leave smudges on my bed sheets And risk discovery when wearing shorts But the scars are so beautiful Do you think, that if you close your eyes You'd be able to read them like braille?
