Crimson Ribbons

Short poem about self harm

Crimson ribbons
Wrapped round my arm:
Help to save me,
Make me calm.


Crimson rivers
Fall from my wrist
Help to hurt me
Where the blade has kissed.


Crimson pools
Help me to sleep;
As the pools grow,
I breathe in deep.


Snow white ribbon,
On me forever:
A significant reminder
Of our time together.
