A Collection Of Haiku's.
 Chapter 6: "Red Tears."
 By: Ryou Bakura.

P. Q. : I don't know where this one came from. I just woke up one morning, opened my eyes, and the words were just there. Anyway, this one is real angsty. It mentions (yuck!) blood, rape, and cutting. Not exactly my usual style. But if you like it, I'll leave it up. If not, let me know and I'll remove it, o.k.? It's written by Ryou.

"Red Tears."

I stand before my mirror,
A broken, bloody mess.

I have red tears.

Damn that Yami-Bakura,
For causing me all this stress.

I have read tears.

My eyes are black'n'blue.
My face is swelled.

I have red tears.

He shoved me down.
"You're ugly and ignorant!" he yelled.

I have red tears.

A bottle smashes against my head
I wish I were dead.

I have red tears.

Blood trickles down,
Mixing with my teardrops.

I have red tears.

As I blot my injuries, I wonder,
"When will this abuse stop?"

I have red tears.

After the bottle,
He squeezes my wrists and rapes me.

I have red tears.

I don't like him on top of me.
It hurts as he pushes between my legs.

I have red tears.

I want the torture to end.
"Get off me! Stop, please!" I beg.

I have red tears.

I hate what he does to me.
He's such a pri...

I have red tears.

He laughs an evil, twisted laugh.
I think I'm going to be sick.

I have red tears.

He yanks me up off the floor.
Then he yells and beats me.

I have red tears.

Bruised, battered, broken.
This isn't how my life's supposed to be.

I have red tears.

Out comes his knife.
I scream, but can't get away.

I have red tears.

He cuts and slashes my body.
It's just another day.

I have red tears.

He leaves drunk.
While I lie dying on the cold floor.

I have red tears.

Helps just around the corner.
But I can't get to the door.

I have red tears.

After awhile, I'm standing in my bathroom,
Looking at my torn, tattered body.

I have red tears.

My life's slowly slipping away.
I wish I could tell my friends, my family, somebody.

I have red tears.

I have no choice but to keep my slience.
To tell my secret would bring ill-will.

I have red tears.

If I did, they'd all be dead.
My evil oppresser wouldn't hesitate to kill.

I have red tears.

I finish tending my many wounds,
And prepare for bed.

I have red tears.

As I lay against my pillow,
I sob and think, 'I wish I were dead.'

I have red tears.

As I doze off,
My forehead again starts to bleed.

I have red tears.

I don't care, so I just lay there.
Nothing matters after having been forced,
to do "the deed".

I have red tears.

Blood trickles down,
and mixes with my teardrops.

I have red tears.

I pull out my own knife and hold it against my heart.
This is where the abuse stops.

And I'll no longer have,

"Red Tears."
