Blood Red Beauty

Funny
Four years after
I met you
I’m only now
Noticing
The color of your
Eyes

I always
Thought that they
Were dark brown
Like mine
Assumed
I guess

But they’re not
They’re more than that
Framed by dark
Luscious
Eye lashes
Green on the edges
Rimming
The unearthly hazel
That encircles your
Soul

Truly only one word
Can be used
To describe
You
You are
Without a doubt
Beautiful

Image

Sliced open
A bright red smile
Carved onto your arm
It made my heart cry
You wouldn’t cover it
Wouldn’t satisfy me
Will you ever

You had to
Shove it in my face
Trying to repulse me
Make me cower
Like the girl I am

But my heart
Spoke louder
Made me
Forced
Me to lean forward
Try to lick your cut
I want to heal you
I need to

You freaked
I should’ve known
Pulled away
Horrified

No
You wouldn’t have
Any of that
No—you wouldn’t
Have me
