  scarlet stained fingertips, reek of metal

  continuously scratching at my chest,

  feeling nothing.  

  still I scratch, crimson skin

  coated in sticky situations

  and unspoken words

                                  

   I bite my tongue

   so sweet buds leak strawberry jam

      

   kissing lips

   crusted in syrupy sugar

   left sapless.
