Roses red like blood

Roses are red

So are the stains on my wrist

The stains that I wash away down the sink

The Slits that I hide so you don't judge

The addiction I have that you know but say nothing

The addiction that leaves marks that I'll one day have to tell my children to not make the same mistake

The marks that could end

But yet help me know I'm alive
