Bloodletting

I want to bleed.

 

I want to see the pain
stained red and spill out
until I'm left dry.

 

My skin screams for scars
to mimic what I feel inside.

 

I sob into my bloodied palms
with an incurable ache
that pierces my heart.

 

No amount of physical wounds
can rival my internal agony.
