Scarlet and Silver
The darkness was Consuming.
The Hatred, the Pain,
The Loss, The Need.
It swallows me whole,
So deep, so cold.
No way out, I need an escape.
The silver glints,
A cool blade.
Scarlet running,
Warmth at last.
Feeling life,
Escape, free.
Bleeding away the pain,
Worry, Fear, Hate.
Blissfully blank.
Feelings thought gone,
Found, Life-giving,
Taking.
Cool silver glints,
To save them all,
I don't know how.
Finally no darkness,
The cold is gone.
I lie still,
Smiling.
Scarlet and Silver.
Cool and Hot.
Life and Death.
Will no one
Save me?
Want me?
Need me?
The blade is cool,
The pain is gone.
But only on,
The surface.
