trigger warning (sh)
12:27 am
my scars are not merely accidental
they are art carefully painted upon my thighs
gradually fading on my wrists
i shall pluck a blade from the sharpener's eye
and paint my picture once again
red against blue and purple skin
once porcelain skin
once free to the public
now hidden in sin
eyes once icy blue
now dark pools of black paint
forming liquefied crystals
that mimic waterfalls on my face
shower water's sting multiplies
each time
i move the blade downward style
body bare and vulnerable
like innocence theft from a child
