Cycle of Shit

So elegant, and promising
So full of hurt
Is the crimson liquid
That runs out your skin

Watch as it drips to the ground
Watch as royal blood mixes with tears
The tears spilled before
From the eyes you've imprinted on

Eyes scared with lies
Lies so unimportant
Lies so careless
But together they form a picture
A picture of pain

A pain so old
And yet so raw
Raw as the meat
That screams on your wrists

Try to suffocate those screams
Behind long sleeves, and leather cuffs
But those hiding scratches
Only add to the lies that pain you so
