Rainbow Bleeding

a girl
barely a woman
still sitting
in the corner of an engine room

she's bleeding 
her arms bleeding

a blade in her hand
dripping 

the heart formed droplets splash
and her eyes are empty

the blood mixes with oil
making a rainbow in the red

it flows into the sunlight
beaming through a hole in the roof

cut in the shape of a face
smiling down on her cold corpse
still sitting in the corner
