Blue

Screaming at the lashes
The dire red dripping
Her master yelling annoyed
Telling her she's nothing
Reminding her that she's alone
Convincing her she will die
She smiles at the bruising words
Leaning back against the wall
Watching ice shape beside her
Creating a world of cold

Because in her world of ice,
She's numb.
Because if she's numb,
She can't feel the pain
Reality brings.
