Crimson or Scarlet

Little girl with the angelic face
Crimson or Scarlet, which do you prefer?
Crimson stains while Scarlet spreads
Both bring the pain and the color of red

Little girl with a demonic side
Dull or sharp, which do you use?
The sharp sting of a blade
Or the long slow painful kiss of dull metal?

Little girl fighting monsters in her mind
Where do you go when you hide?
All alone under the bed listening to the screams
Or standing in the light, watching like a fly on the wall?

Little girl broken and bruised
Scarlet or Crimson, which do you choose?
One brings relief, the other brings dread

Or do you like both because it feeds your addiction
Another quick fix to hide under your sleeves
Jackets cover the evidence, but the heart always knows
Little girl no longer innocent,
Do you feel all alone?

With only two colors on your wrists
Little girl, lost in a world so harsh
Please tell me this
Crimson or Scarlet, which is the best?
