the blood bubbled from her skin,

tiny shards of garnet.

that red seeped from her wrists,

coating everything it touched.

her soul poured out from her arms,

like prey escaping the hunter.

had been carved out from the cold.

she looked down at the mess she had made,

watching all that red pour.

that red was all she thought about

as she sunk down to the floor
