Red Nights.

the evidence. splatters of black bold print contrasting to the white of my past. its all getting blurry. i think i see a night , where rain fell like knives into my skin. i saw red for the first time, shaken against walls a inner earthquake as sirens blared replaying your screams as her fist fell like explosions to your blossoming womb i cried like i never had before and I ran fast as my legs could carry as you screams kept skipping on the worlds surround sound your blood stained my hands and no matter how many times i washed it off, i knew the image had been tattooed on my eyes it's all getting blurry but i remember one night dark as your skin you crawled to my door and your blood trailed behind shards of hidden pains and hopeful dreams scattered around your body "please" you whimpered i let you in and hid behind my mother's figure whom i once ran from , it was my only form of shelter. your tears turned black as you screamed hatred and cried love contradicting in your own being i couldn't help but feel bad for you the pool of your tears flooded the floor and i kneel down and pray for your tattered heart that it could heal past the feeling of losing your wings in a moment of anger and being thrown to the pavement as you rolled away from your "savior" Lucifer in disguise i wondered how angels could kill so much you screamed he was your everything but what were you to him? i cant seem to remember so many moments of red it's all getting blurry too much to see as I rock myself to sleep and say it'll be alright cuz her hands will never leave my mind as more than the bombs she rigged to explode in your stomach and their eyes will never seems pure again as i remember their trickery and the pool of your hearts tapery cut into a million pieces i don't remember much and in this white room where i'm all alone i still feel i'm safer and I thank god for this heaven i'm in because i'm losing the tainted images tattooed on my mind it's all getting blurry till it finally turns white
