I'm shaking as I take a step forward
breathing heavily
trying to tell myself I can do it
all while the tears are rushing down


An endless night
as you embrace me again
against a bleeding tree
with our hearts beating together
and thorns piercing our skin
Every step is suicide
and I'm still dreading when you leave

Shackles against my wrists
tightening as the chain is pulled
purple and blue
a decoration of my skin
along with scarlet gashes

I am purple
a mark of suffering
