Blood By Day

In this light,

there’s no place for me

I do what I want to

When I want to

Yet no happiness iluminates my day

I take a pen

Jab it deep into my skin

Look me in the eyes

tell me there is no love,

There is no light

and that there’s no place for me

And he does

He does it so happily and cheerfully

Gladly tearing at my heart

His raspy voice commands me to do more

“Take those blades”

I know you don’t want to be alone

Let me join you

I’ll be your only one

Give in

Yes!

Just like that!

Now do it to your face

Carve my name deep into your face

A face covered with sins

There is no lamentation

There is no fear

Then why do I have these tears?!?!!
