Crimson Ink Poem by Elisha De La Rosa

Blacken room with its dark concise
With no windows, to see golden sun rise
The only light sparks from eyes
To see the void within my lies

The black room is inside my head
There is a back where the gloomy thoughts shed
I took the pain within
And buried my fist inside my chest

I've reviewed the sins I've once committed
Wrote the problems to try to forget it
So I ripped open my chest
Find my heart and dipped my fingers in its mess

I use my skin as tainted parchment
Wrote on it because my memory is faded
Here's my broken heart and I am its tenant
My lover is gone, her absence, I hated

My body is covered in marks
My regrets and mistakes are my scars
I reside in my corner
Sadness found its owner

I wished to see the stars
I wished I've won her heart
It's hopeless to try to accomplish my dreams
After I'm done, it's blown away from me

My body is covered in crimson ink
It is not permanent, my tears wash it away
I'm at my brink, and my eyes have grown dark
They hide behind the shades, because you can see my heart

The dark room expands through my mind
To the darkness you were my light
Now that my dream is gone, a shattered heart remains
If you find me, read the letters founded by these blood stains.
