My dear Let Me Paint the House Red for you.

“Cut my life into pieces”
the blood drips from my wrists.
The tears drips from my eyes.
We fought our last fight.
Heaven for you
hell for me.
The only way it should be-
The only way.

I acted like a foolish teenager.
You acted like a teenage fool.
Perhaps I should have used the kitchen knives to end it in front of you.
Perhaps I should have given you the privilege to watch me suffer to the end.
Perhaps I should have given you this gift many years ago.
You gave me the gift of life.
It is only fair I return the favor.
I have wrecked your life to the bitter end.
I have wrecked your life to tears.
I have wrecked your life to-
-Hell
Me

Your tears are bee stings.
And I know you have done all that you can for me.
I know that you have tried to stop the failure that is my life.
I know.
I appreciate your love.
I appreciate your peck on my cheek
I appreciate the cookies you made for me.
I appreciate those presents and glowing smile as I unwrapped Christmas presents.

As blood drips across the floor,
I use a red paint can to color the windows to match my sorrow.
I paint the house red!
My hand can no longer hold it as I  grow faint and dizzy..
Walking into the kitchen the key wrack got my eyes.
It was a bit ironic and, despite my state,  I snickered in my narcissistic .manner.
It says, “Good Day and Hurry Home.”
I look at it as I grow even more faint while blood rushed from me like the Mississippi River.
I pause
I write the letters above the sign,
I love you mother,
With the blood gushing from my wrist
The smeared blood and red windows is in essence,
A window into my soul .
