Blood Flowers

The cuts on my arm bleed like a crimson flower,

Blooming only in the night

When humans are quiet but the voices are loud.

They all bloom when I'm alone.

Alone with my mind. Alone with the darkness.

The darkness swallows me whole like an endless night.

It feels like I'm dying, exactly like I wanted.

This is not pain.

This is me saving myself from falling deeper.

The higher you climb the harder you fall.

That is why I don't climb at all.

I will stay here.

In the darkness.

I will stay here.

Making these crimson flowers bloom

Until I have no more blood to feed them.
