Slow Dance to Your Razor Blade Violin

By Fading_Smile

When the only reflective surface
is the razor in your room
and your teary eyes lose focus
as your mirror slices you

Your smile smells of indifference
since you played violin with knifes
the fire in your eyes dwindled
when you played a sad song on each thigh

You say red's your favorite color
so refreshing in a black and white world
but every bull charges at crimson
scarlet horns impaling your artistic toil

Unlike your beauty
the razor blade's skin deep
I'll carve your name into my heart
just don't play a song for me

Brillant. Really. Cutting seems so cleshe but it's always so strong to read about. Amazing job here.

Wow... that is so eerie-ly (sp.?) beautiful. I loved the next to last stanza. It is so true. Really outdone yourself here. *Bravo* Julia~
