Chapter Five
Scarlet Tears
_______________________________________
Where do you run
When the devil starts living
In you?
Her stomach didn't crave sustenance
Her lungs couldn't inhale the air.
The mind slowly rotting
As the voices echoed
Deep in her soul.
Hands in the hair
Tugging at the roots
Pain felt endurable today.
She let a final, desperate, shout
Before crawling to the bathroom.
Picking the blade
Hidden behind the cabinet.
She mumbled a silent prayer
"So much for hiding the pain;
So much for letting go of the past".
Gliding the sharp edge
Along her spotless skin on the wrist
Slowly inching deeper,
Rupturing a few blood vessels
Letting the scarlet tears drip, drip,
Drip.
Head tilted to the ceiling
As the whispers start fading.
She smiled while tears rolled
Down her cheeks.
This is it;
This was her way to find silence.
