He's too beautiful. Don't let him go.
Red.
Don't leave me.

Mother's Day. Red roses and a card. It hurts.

A flat,red line on the monitor beside the hospital bed.

Never again.

What are these dripping red lines on my wrist?
Red.
They are pain. Rather, escape from pain.

Vision is almost completely red.
Red.
You're killing yourself,slowly.
Red.
You don't care.

One last breath.
The pain is over.
