Hallucinations in Red


Blood. 

Blood is everywhere. 

It drips down faces screwed with passion. 

It covers the purest souls. 

Hands are stained red from a fingertip's brush. 

Shhh. It's in your head. 

On your head. 

Pouring through your hair. 

This isn't how you thought redheads felt.

Help! Help me! PLEASE! 

I need to breathe; 

I'm choking on 

Blood that splatters your face as poison, 

And we fall down together. 

My waking nightmare.

Hi! My name is Elizabeth Davenport, and I'm a college student who loves all things language, no matter what language it is! I'm probably reading, writing, or dancing in the rain right now. I'm a featured poet, Aura, on diesandnoctis.com (go check them out: they're great!), and use the names E.D., Elie Dav, and Elizabeth Davenport when posting my own.
