I think it is about redemption at the hands of a midnight lover, am I right? As such, it is a well-worn theme and would benefit from some explanation of the narrator's scars, or the healing process. Something to make it unique.

Beyond the hour of darkness, <-- I like this: it suggests the trauma is passed.
Entering Into eyes brimming <-- "entering" implies "into"

floating frozen and forlorn. <-- how are you "floating"?
A piece of scrimshaw
crudely marred by time <--"marred" implies "crudely"
displaying all its scars. <-- I want to know more, here
The slenderest tread <-- "tread" or "thread"? This image is difficult for me; earlier you were frozen, then a piece of scrimshaw. The thread (if that is what you mean) doesn't fit for me.

lullaby waves

its earthen beauty. <-- The thread has earthen beauty?
Thus the artist
with a masters touch <-- "artist" implies mastery
may burnish the tracks <-- "burnish" as in highlight? I'm not sure this is the right word, though it certainly fits with scrimshaw. "Banish," perhaps. But I still don't know what he/she did to heal you.

eclipsing my indigo ways. <-- How are your ways indigo?

the washer worn,
knifeblade cleansing, shedding
drops from flesh torn
through and crying on the floor.
Too deep.
Too deep to bandaid
over the hurt:
not this time.
Come play with my little kink.
a fetishist's delight.
Turn the water rosy with droplets
of a ruby night.
Flesh laid open, the way stands clear.
Too dark.
Too dark to see
the end of the road:
through red drapes.
