Beautiful Scars

Deep crimson splatters of passion,
Joyful misery spread across my mind
Bloody sacrifice without compassion
Silent soft wails from behind
The winsome marks of a rose
Shone with agony and demise;
But it was that wishful desire we chose
We fall, we desert, we rise!
We rise like the burning sun,
Clenching our bloodstained fists
Rewinding back onto the incessant run,
Departing from wounds on my feet and wrists
Those blazing burns that fate brought upon,
Are the memories of forgotten forlorn
