Blood Treat

Blood has the sweetest taste
and the most beautiful red,
like the color of liquid rubies.
All I need for my treat
is my trusty blade.
I run the edge on my skin,
and my flesh cries red tears.
Letting them flow, I wait
before I collect the sweet stuff.
With my blood on the razor,
I taste it, with that metallic bite
only blood and steel have.
I rake my skin again
to collect more of the stuff.
The blood tastes great,
and the cuts feel great, too.
