Red's Cruel Kiss TW: self harm ideation

[sputniksungoblin]

Hey I wrote this a couple nights ago I'd really appreciate some critiques and tips TW for self harm (also side note I just joined on here so I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place please let me know if I'm not)

“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

TW?

I did some radical cutting.  What's left is what I see as the strong parts of the poem.  I think some stanza breaks, about where the cuts are, would be good.
