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
