Red lipstick stains her windowpane She’s unbeknownst to lovers' eyes. Although her soul may ache with pain One wonders why she never cries.
Her lips they trace a victims face She’s torn her heart out like a weed. Although her body rips like lace One wonders why she doesn’t bleed.
Nightfall beckons her weary mind She plays in shadows amongst the creeps. Although the truth she cannot find One wonders why she never sleeps.
She breathes in a flutter of nervous lust While her amber skin presses onto him. To whom the one she can entrust? Then sadness breaks her body’s whim.
Something is stirring deep down inside An impression left by the one she fears. No longer empowered by selfish pride Confound to why she sheds these tears.
The tears, they dry upon her cheeks This unknown feeling fatigues her so. Along with fuchsia blush, it streaks Apart from which no one can know.
She shakes off despair with a whip of her hair Then in her chest, there awakens a beat. This heavy pounding is too much to bear Ceasing to yield, it goes on to repeat.
Once healed, her scars begin to burn Her wounds, they pour out like a flood. Enough to make her stomach churn Confound to why she bleeds this blood.
She cleans the blood trails off her legs Her sudden affliction causes unrest. Under dire concern, she still never begs Lying awake on the floor, undressed.
Her carnal remains take on the strains She starts to unravel at the seams. Below a flushed weight, her body wanes Confound to why she sleeps in dreams.
How could emotions such as these Emotions that harm and dismiss Bring a siren to her knees With one everlasting kiss?
Beautifully written! I'm so glad you pointed me in this direction and invited me to take a look at this piece; it's quite eye-catching. The rhyme scheme is catchy, especially when heard spoken aloud. Emotionally, it's powerful, and it really plunges its readers deep. Your poem certainly knows how to take its audience on an emotional ride and not let go. Well, at least, that was the impression I got.
To feel indeed is to be human! And I'd rather suffer every sling and arrow than be bereft of feeling at all.

Well done.
