More than a little dark, but seriously, just bare with me, it'll get more positive soon. Hopefully :') I don't care if you think it's crap, and if you do, then please tell me and say why and where I could improve.
The blade moved smoothly across my arm
As I sat half-upright against the bright white wall.
I looked on, terrified, as first I saw a small bead of dark red,
Then a gushing stream of crimson that snaked it’s way through my fingers.
The invisible bars held me prisoner in that room,
While my right arm betrayed my left, and I burst into tears.
When I regained control, the stream has stopped, but the cut still showed.
I wondered how I would ever explain it. How I would tell the only one that cared.
A tear dropped onto my forearm,
The salty sting biting deep into my mind, and tightening the snare.
I slowly looked back at the cut, almost admiring it’s alignment with the others.
It stared right back at me, a malevolent reminder of my broken mind.
I told you today. You had no idea,
And it killed me to let you know I was slowly dying.
I wish you could understand just how much I care about you,
But no one has ever been able to comprehend the love I locked away.
