Red

Red...

 

It burns like a flame in my chest

Devouring all other emotion

But still accompanied by tears

Massacring any other thoughts I can conceive

 

Break. Smash. Destroy. Scream. Cry.

The only actions that can satisfy the red fury..

The red flame that refuses to be doused

 

Pain lances my chest, tearing up any resistance to not causing myself more pain

The impact of my knuckles on the wall jolts me from my stupor

...But not out of my rage

 

Decimating everything the red rage burns through

Through my consciousness

Through my barriers

 

Mindless words tumble from my throat

Ripped free of my mouth

Flung out like the red lava exploding from the maw of a volcano

 

Nothing can satisfy the volcano alive within me

Nothing can suppress the anger

The hurt

The sadness

 

The slits on her wrists gush deep crimson blood

 

Pooling around her feet

 

My feet

 

Running down her arms

 

My arms

 

Red refuses to leave, consuming me

All is hopeless as Red drains my life
