Red Lines
The tree inside the dream catcher I drew
Tears smear the lines i made
This tree came to mean more than i knew
The image tells the story of hate
A war that festered inside of me
A war against myself
My wrist grew red lines from these
These visions of Hell
Burning sensations in my heart
Roaring waters in my soul
The voices travel, travel far
Seeping in at night, their volume grows
Red lines leaking my pain
My sorrow written on my arms
In blood my portrait is framed
My image tainted by razors worn
The war dies down but still rages on
