pretty pale skin
accessorized with scars
varying size and color
in time growing duller

something small and shiny
red dripping
to paint this work of art
tragic from the start

they turn from red and lighten
ending with white
like some cruel flower
on a boy who's losing power

high on pain
addicted to mutilation
it's so pretty
beginning to crave pity

never seen arms
no matter how scorching
my little secret
to make sure i never forget

body littered with marks
don't bother trying
you'll never quit
not until you end it
