Bleed Poem by Paige DeRogatis

So cut open the wound

Expose the crimson terror

Show me you're alive

Let blood erase the error

Cross your heart and hope to die

Scream until you cannot breathe

Pierce the flesh but do not cry

Put your teeming mind at ease

Ignore the stinging shock

You deserve to feel this hurt

Be fearless like the rock

And hide your bloodstained shirt

Escape into a nightmare

Fall asleep in pain

Close your eyes and say a prayer

That you will die in sweet disdain
