Smeared Red

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~may be triggering so read with caution~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These white lips hold a secret

of the painful attempt to survive

amidst the lies, the cheating, the deceit

one small soul tried to remain alive

 

The struggle against the world

the existence that stole away all pride

every attempt was made to cope

but ended in the need to hide

 

The razor blade of understanding

cutting through the pain allowing comfort in

releasing the chains of binding torment

allowing some normalcy to begin

 

Unfortunately for this stricken soul

the only outlet became the only escape

and the warm red did freely flow 

and help that came arrived too late

 

The last cry for help

smeared red across the floor

the truth silently spoken from those white lips

"its over, no need to worry anymore"
