blood oranges

By Kfritz

I cut blood oranges
Ontop of a paper plate
Its juice stained my fingers
And its pulp stuck on my face
As I contiue to wipe the tears away
Leaving a sticky streak of red
Under my eyes

i think i pulled something a bit different from this because when i was 13 and got told to stop self harming, they made me slice fruit with a razorblade instead. so yeah this creeped me out.
