Red's Cruel Kiss TW: self harm ideation

[Tiger the Lion]

Hey I wrote this a couple nights ago I'd really appreciate some critiques and tips TW for self harm

“Red’s Cruel Kiss”
The steel kiss of the blade
Gliding across silken skin
Leaving behind it a trail of red flowers 
A sting to hide in 
To hide away from the dark that threatens to wash me away
 A darkness that suffocates me
Cutting off my oxygen until I can no longer fight it
The red brings me back 
The sting makes it go away for a moment 
Makes the dark a little more bearable 
A pain to hide from the roiling agony inside
Red vines crawl down my legs 
As the demons finally abate for a few hours 
It’s addicting, enwrapping 
An endless cycle of pain and numb
It feels inescapable
It keeps me breathing, keeps the black at bay
Yet I can never escape completely 
The demons always come hunting again
