Scarlet

And there I was

In a place in which I couldn't escape

 I bellowed my pain, a screech loud enough Everest would shake

The clouds would part and at that, I'd still see no light

No way through the pain except the way I found in my early days of sorrow

The scarlet that trickled down my skin by the sharp edges

Not for pain, not for pleasure

A deep abyss I fell into, and I couldn't get out

I swallow my pride in shame as I walk to the edge

There is nothing left

But scarlet
