Beautiful Pain
Laura Colleen 1986 (NY)
One cut
Two cut
Three cut, four
Here I am, watching my blood drip on the floor
What have I done, what have YOU done
You’ve come so far, you thought that THIS was all done.
This is beneath you, this WAS behind you.
But was it ever behind you, or was it left at the door?
The door that was always left ajar.
Sadness, emptiness, anger, shame that’s what comes bursting through that door.
A decade of fighting for solace drained out of you like the blood from the cut you have opened on you.
As blood pours out from your beautiful soul, the pain pours right with it.
Let it go, let the river flow.
One cut
Two cut
Three cut, four
What have I done, what have YOU done
