Blood stains my hands
stains my clothes
flows down my legs
puddles around my feet
splashes across my face
soaks into the carpet
drips down the walls
fills the toilets
bubbles up the from the floorboards
my house is a blood bath
it is filled with my heart
i have everything
except myself
i poured it out
this blood that protects
at the expense of family
of friends
of life
i wish i could bleed out
end this tragic cycle
to stop my hurting
to stop the cuts
scrapes
and burns
that come with their words
