This blade of torment
Pierces my skin
And cuts across my wrist.
The warm red liquid
Oozes out and slides
Down my hand.
From my fingertips
The blood drips and
Shatters upon the tile floor.
The red rubies scatter
And I let my love
Run out with my dreams.
Overwhelming silence
Succumbs me and
My life goes numb.
My eyes glaze over
And I no longer see
My reflection in the mirror.
From standing I slowly
Crumble and fall into
The darkness of no return.
