Waterfall


Blood is like a river Flowing through your veins Meant not to be disturbed Till a simple slice that broke the skin Makes it rush like a waterfall Cold hearts and empty souls Those are the only ones who know The joy and sorrow Of suffer and pain Of putting a blade Into your vein Your blood it runs and falls like rain Images of death flash into your brain Feelings of love and hate become one You feel like your life is already done The pain you have inside you burns The emotional ride that you’re on turns The end is near So face your fear But you don’t care The pain is too much to bear Life was like an oozing sore But the pain is gone forever more You wasted the river needed for life By simply picking up a knife Now the only waterfalls in the race Are the tears running down your best friends face For blood is like a river Flowing through your veins Meant not to be disturbed Till a simple slice that broke the skin Made it rush like a waterfall

Thanks. I wrote a lot of poems like this in middle school. This was the first one I finished and the only one I remember.
