Bloody Gashes

Do you see me crying? Or notice my injuries? My eyes drip with scarlet tears You have forsaken me My lips tremble when you are near and I feel a surge of pain I hold my head down low So my eyes dont reveal my shame Today without my knowledge My notches tore open I looked down at my silvery blouse It was stained and blood sodden I thought if you couldn't hear my cries Then maybe you would see Those bloody gashes etched on my arms I carved them deliberately
