And when the stars you promised me
Started falling, kept on falling
I painted stripes on my skin
Razor blade deep, bleeding red
Against the white of my flesh
While the blue of my eyes blurred
By too many shed and unshed tears
Freedom, all you wanted was freedom
And you were ready to defend
Weapons loaded, shots fired
Tearing apart flesh and soul
Leaving holes and shreds and a pain
That made me love me more
And more each day
The value you didn’t give
I found myself
In the ruins of something

Ripping flesh
Tearing flesh
Metal parting
Fine cracks
In soft skin
Tainted red
Wet red
Crying wounds
In diffuse
Bathroom light
Metal clinks
On white tiles
Bathroom warfare

Tears running
Heart running
Staring eyes
In dirty mirror
Disbelief painted
In wide blue
Fabric touching
Fabric suffocating
Soul screaming
Wanting to break
Carnal prison
Life sentence
Bedroom warfare

Almighty hunger
Almighty craving
Starving mouth
Wanting to feed ...
