So pretty

pretty red blood
flows down my arm
making a crimson trail
'so pretty' i say to myself
scarlet blood leaks out my arm
making a bloody river
'so pretty' i whisper
dark red lines criss-cross my arms
making a patchwork quilt
'so pretty' i say out loud.
maroon blood leaks out my wrist
and stains my pale blue sheets
'so pretty' i cry
because now i realize what i've done.
but before i can say 'im sorry'
im gone.
