Bleeding Ink

She bleeds in ink
Writes in blood
She's at the brink
of falling victim

She cuts with verbs
and sings with glass
she cries herself to sleep
And prays for the depression to pass

Water runs in her veins
Drinking blood
to subside her emotional pains
she falls victim to decadence

She bleeds ink and cries blood
she never had a chance of staying victim
