Drawing Blood

razors dance across aching skin
a memory within a dream
metallic light shimmers
in a darkened space

cold steel
real life
drawing blood

crimson stains upon satin sheets
life pools within my hand
black pain flows
from a darkened place

cold winds
dead thoughts
drawing blood

dreams blur into the reality of a moment
mischievous shadows taunt
illumination of a hallucination
upon a darkened heart

frozen fear
whispered words
drawing blood

closed eyes see with sullen urgency
how quickly a moment can spin out of control
a broken hearted promise
remains intact

frozen tears
recited words
drawing blood
