riverred
she knew it would hurt
but the hole in her heart hurt more than the stream of red on her arm
the pain of loss was too great
it took her mind over
like a virus
infecting, ruining her
the pain washed over her at night, like a wave
she couldn’t drown in her sorrows any longer
the rivers on her wrists ran red with relief
she shed an ocean of tears
as she closed her eyes for the last time
the pools of red surrounded her
lifeless on the ground
relief
