For Alexis

Sep 16, 2003 17:19

She traced the scars
with a razor blade kiss
and a blood red
heaven
glistened on her skin
as crimson tears
fell from
makeup stained eyes.

The blades of lust
shimmered in the
moonlight
and snow white skin shined
with scarlet roses
that broke her heart
as they tore out
the hems of imperfect love.

The sword of passion
was covered with the
remains of ruby red
luxuriance that spilled
forth from wrists scarred
so many times before
due to multiple cracks
left in her heart that
got wider as time went on
just like cracks in a
windshield.

Her heart
was worn on
the end of
long-sleeves
to hide the self-inflicted
wounds
that were never painful
physically.

Her emotions though
were in a whirlwind
that spun the tiny
shards of her broken
heart
like those of a window
in a hurricane hail storm.

The pain could
be seen in her
eyes
no matter how much
she feigned a smile
to cover it up.

She felt so
many things all
at once
it overwhelmed her.

She was a thesaurus
of
emotions.

Not all having
definitions
or
direction
but each bearing
a razor's edge
cutting into the
mind of this
angelic being
producing the crimson tears
that spilled from
eyes so tired
and worn.
