Violet Flowers

Open Cuts

Sweat pain

Tender sting of a razor blade

Crimson droplets on the ground

Slowly dripping, raining down

Physical representation of pain

Long sleeves to hide the shame

Bloodstains permanently in the sheets

While trying to forget and go to sleep 

Scars that won't go away 

Memories that never fade

Blood flowing from open veins

To be mindlessly rinsed down the drain

Addictive numbness, like a drug

Enveloped in a deadly love

Caught in it's tenderly fatal embrace

Broken heart begins to race

Face masked in bloody tears

What rushes away is all the fears

Bandage up the open cuts

For the night the pain is done
