Stop


Stop please now 
before I do something 
something that can't be read
have you no regret for this?
​​​​ for the blood I have bled

​​​is this what you call motherly love?
for to me it looks like a murder waiting.
do you wish to make me like this?
if not then stop while you still can.

words, images, and screams fly through my head
​​​​heads knife can be stopped
​Only if you stop not before you lose your head.

You're words harm me more than you think
​​​it's your words that have made me bled.
so stop now before someone is dead.
