Blood

Blood



The bright crimson oozes

from my broken, torn melting heart.

The blood stains my white poet’s blouse scarlet

As it slowly seeps down.

The torture of a love not fulfilled.

The pain is like electric shocks

Through to my very soul.



The Reaper’s

dead cold brittle fingers

clutch at my throat.

I smile into his jade eyes

and nod toward his silver scythe.

“Be done with it!”

“The pain I cannot take any more.
