Crimson red fade,
I remove their masquerade,
exposed my shame.
Swelled and scarred,
they relieve my deep sorrows,
a morbid mess.
Scarlet drains life,
a razor’s sharpened slice,
pain relief in due time.
Tears overflow my eyes,
never could you see my colors,
bloody red’s confine.
The real me’s disgrace,
cover the scars of my past,
you already knew.
