A short poem.
To line your eyes with red,
let this aggression be my protection,
I have sought out attention,
The blood would clear your head,
If you could have seen and read,
what other men have said.

Momentary lust is irrelevant,
you're only someone's ideal for so long.
When I get what I want I'm too hesitant,
I'm busy wondering if I'm your song.

Will I ever be satisfied?
I'd rather you not lie
.
How can you penalize my desire?
Perfection is all I've tried to acquire.

To line my eyes with red,
something not meant for approval,
To show my skin's shed,
Not hidden by last night's removal.

I sacrificed my sanctuary,
made myself an adversary.
Why was only my destruction necessary?
Around you I'm someone else.
Someone who see them kill them self.
