If the stars were aligned <br />In a line, single filed <br />I'd go to see you <br />At least for the while <br /> <br />I am within these chains <br />And I cannot break out <br />No one hears me cry <br />No one hears me shout <br /> <br />Hiding within the comfort of my knife <br />Feeling it press against my skin <br />Frightening the fabric of my soul <br />And the fabric of my sin <br /> <br />Watching scarlet liquid <br />Drip down my arm <br />Releasing the knife from my grasp <br />Will save me from harm <br /> <br />Now in the darkness <br />I see your face <br />But sadly, I am chained <br />I cannot leave this place<br /><br />Pete Rivera<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/scarlet-liquid/
