I sit in my room,

painting a masterpiece,

on my wrists and thighs.

The ink is red,

the paintbrush is my

blade.

A masterpiece,

expressing so much feeling,

every emotion there to see.

The pain,

the betrayal,

the lost hope.

Written in

shades of red.

Lines and swirls later,

your name is carved into my wrist,

a masterpiece of

red ink.

It matches the scars

you left on my heart.

A tribute to my sanity,

that left long ago.

A tribute to the hope

I had let grow, only to have

destroyed.

All there

in beautiful

red ink...
