Bubbling up in violent hues of vermilion,
Let the rage spill out in shambolic splashes and blots...
Deceptions of despair wrapping around in desperation,
Let the cravings envelope a soul that rots...

These feelings of guilt will heal and clot, won't they?
But the scars shall never fade away...!

Scarlet slivers of peace that leak, of false relief, of weakness,
Circling around in this cycle of shame, overflow, repeat again!
Glinting silver blades of reality so bleak, of broken beliefs, of selfishness,
Ruby droplets dripping till this disgraceful regret shall drain!
