Emotion-Blood

What's wrong? Just spill it...
(Note: I haven’t been going through the kindest times, and I really really need to vent. My normal poetry fluttered off, so please deal with this and its lack of rhythm and/or rhyme.)

Sit down, please
Show me
Your battle
Scars

I’m sure you’ve
Been fighting
For years on your
Own
Must be lonely
In there
With all that
Blood on your hands

It’s spilling
All over, you
Say?

Your arms cry
Emotion-blood
Your eyes cry
Emotion-blood
Your scissors cry
For
Emotion-blood

Your arms are
So
Skinny
So why are you
Wearing those
Long
Black sleeves
What do you hide?

Emotion-blood
Runs through your veins

Your heart pumps
Emotion-blood
It must hurt
To pulse in
Emotions

Do you
Sleep
Anymore?

Too much
Light you
Say?

The world
Talks
Too
Much
Now?

EMOTION-BLOOD
RUNS FROM YOUR HEART
EMOTION-BLOOD
BLEEDS THROUGH YOUR ARMS
EMOTION-BLOOD
SEEPS THROUGH YOUR EYES

Please take
A
Seat because
I haven't
Seen
You in
A while

Please keep on your
Jacket
And wristbands
Because I
Don't
Want to
See
Your
Dried
Blood

Why don't
You
Just let it
All
Out?

You seem
To want to
Say
Something so
Just
Spill
It

Roll back
Your sleeves
A confession
To
Me?

But I
Knew long before
I heard
You cry in
Relief when your
Emotion-blood was
Set
Free

You cry
In
Red.
