My Red Bracelet

On my wrist 

is a bracelet

Of the deepest shade of red

Fluid and straight

It stains my skin

And cuts deep into my flesh 

Handcrafted with loneliness

And embellished with hate

It glimmers in the darkness 

And is masked in the day

A gift

Sent from the boy

Who made my sheets reek 

Of black love

And toxic perfume

A present

Bestowed on me

By the stream of their words 

Threats dripping from their lips 

On my wrist 

Is a badge of the past

An emblem of my pain

Seal my identity

Define my name 

Drain my color into your red 

The jewel on my wrist 

extends up my arm 

then sinks into my vein

Embroidered with contempt

And outlined by disgust 

It rids me of their words

And forgives me of his touch
