It's bleeding in
I don't know why
I'm certain it won't come off
But I have to try
But not right now
This shirt started today
A vibrant red hue
But now it's faded
Sad and blue
Looks more grey now actually
It started because of the rain
At least that's what it seemed
The red became splotchy
And spread to my skin
It seeped in good
Curdling within
I feel absolutely sick
The feeling compounded
Stacking up like interest
Always upwardly rounded
My organs felt red
I can't even explain what that means
I tried and didn't understand what was said
It sounded like a foreign tongue
Now bathed in redness
From the inside out
All appeared normal
None suspected I was without
Without what?
I can scarcely say it
My soul seemed to be missing
Perhaps this shirt was enchanted
And even right now
Some witch is cackling
With my soul in her jar
Flitting about like a firefly
A tiny contained star
This shirt is an ugly grey
And so the ugly grey covers me
As I stumble ahead
Empty inside
Coated in red
I've even forgotten what I'm missing
Which in this situation may be kind
The redness it appears
Has now spread to my mind
