Blood
Once the tears started to fall,
And the blood stopped cold
That was the day when they all
Stopped to see me fold
Into myself and disappear
Back into the nothing that
So desperately wished to consume me with fear
The people just stared, to gawk at
Me as I fell deeper into the abyss
Of never ending pain and suffering.
Of course, no one will miss
That lonely little girl who sat wondering
Is there such a thing as bliss?
So much can come from a little love,
And it could save a person’s life.
Do not put yourself above
Because your words are indeed a steel knife,
Cutting and tearing through flesh
Letting their souls escape through their wounds
Slipping through the rusty wire mesh that
Keeps them from being marooned
In their own personal hell.
