Unbearable Beauty In the Colour Red
red is such an interesting colour
war is such an intricate gore
but it's SO SIMPLE
YES
I'VE FOUND MY WAY OUT
BLEND THE SINS
AND CREATE A WHIRLWIND
OF DEPRESSION AND LOSS AND DARK THOUGHTS
AND MANY SUICIDAL ATTEMPTS MADE UP IN YOUR HEADLESS
CHOKING AND PILLS AND GUILT AND UGLINESS
LAMENT AND WEEPING AND AND AND SADNESS
SADNESS
SADNESS
Sadness
yes
draw some more art on your paper veins, dear
you beautiful PSYCHO YOU
YES YES
ONLY EXCELLING IN ONE COLOUR
maybe someone might see
and gift you the help you need
but i don't believe white walls
will stop you from seeing blood
flesh is such SUCH an EROTIC word
how the final syllable quiets it's victim
light the torture
and that's all the light you've got left
to write in
you put the art in artery
painting from your colours is so soothing
it’s like making a wish in the fountain of youth
it’s never fun to wipe away the evidence
but most of it squirts onto the canvas
oh, yes.
what a perfect mess i’ve made of you.
Red on white is a sad colour and he's gone
his body floods onto the Earth.
