Scarlet Surrender

Folder: 
Self-Harm

Bloody kisses along my wrist,
writing your name in scarlet tears.

Going insane without you here,
growing weak, when I hear your voice again.

Why do you get to me still,
I don’t want to love you anymore.

Torn between emotions,
each one tearing me apart.

I hear your voice,
and know you still care.

Wish I could forgive myself,
for walking away,
it kills me a little more each day.

Hearing your laugh in my head,
seeing your tears,
I crumble again to the ground.

My arm is stinging,
blood drying, still I feel nothing.

I don’t want to miss you,
to feel dead ever second of the day.

I wish I could cry,
but the tears won’t fall.

Instead the scarlet surrender,
my sweet sacrifice empties my heart.

Don’t be so sweet to me,
don’t kiss the tears away,
when only more continue to fall.

Love you, hate you,
helping and hurting,
your voice won’t bring me peace.

Don’t give me reasons to cry,
when you won’t be here to stop me,
to watch the blood stop dripping.
