Silence

Blade draws patterns on the wrist

Bite lips for silence

Move cautiously into mist

Heeding to violence

Crimson drips into the sink

Mirror looks to self

Cut deeper so you can't think

All you see is filth

Pure blood as red as roses

Keeping soul intact

Death holds still; question poses

As the edge was cracked

Close your eyes for final sleep

The blade slips as angels weep

How did you manage to make a cutting poem, romantic?! lol I Love it!! I don't usually, like these kinds of poems, and that is maybe because of the writers. : ) Setting up your poem in these beautiful little quatrains was perfect for not drawing out these potentially long lines with confusing words. They were sharp, beautiful, and dark.... forgive me for wanting to splash in the sink halfway through your poem!! lol I was having too much fun. I wouldn't be much help for cleaning up with you when you are done, but before that.... a blast!! : ) I'm bad.... sorry. That couplet at the end is deeper than the whole of some "dark" poems I've seen on here. Great word choice, wonderful form, little bit of cramped area with no space above and below the poem, but you may like it like that..... squished in with the copyright, title, and links. Who knows?! lol Beautiful job..... xoxo -Mark

While I've never thought the letting of blood was anything more than a person accepting that it's okay for society to cause them pain. You have painted a powerful piece of prose here. It's imagery is dynamic and some of the lines are really striking in their word choices.
The last two lines made me chuckle as I imagined a person falling asleep while ice skating. ;p

Great Ink!
