Sweet Blood
Sweet Blood
You press it deeper and deeper.
Until fresh red droplets of
Sweet adolescent blood comes out.
You know this is not something for pleasure
But for intense pain, you eagerly want to suffer.
You increase the pressure exerted on the rusted knife
Just to leave a mark.
A mark, no one would ever come across
Lest one enters the darkest side of your prettiest smile.
A mark so deep, it does not even bleed.
It is permanent
Brimming with atrocious abuses and fake promises
Thrown at the little, fragile heart.
A mark that unknowingly could have changed the world,
And make others realize their self-worth.
But
It is too late,
As the pressure intensifies, and the knife dugs deeper.
You stop for a second and then stop forever.
Your sweet blood of disappointment flows in all variations
As the suffocating room, screams accusations at the narcissistic world
Begging a little sunshine of appreciation
For the little heart who begged to differ.
