[in]sanity 2

FEEL--the jittering pulsating beat, 
          the burn along the fresh scars
          as below the perforated lines

BLOOD--begs to be brought to the surface
             offered to silver lips. It tugs along
              your flesh where

LINES--burning beg you to reopen,
            hold the steady flow firmly
             can't bleed out yet.

STEADY--hold, but feel the beat nonetheless
               some days just to remember
                I can feel,

and they bring me to someplace like home. 

Remember what it is to see the water running red.
