Crimson Blood

by Crystal Nelson
(Georgia, USA)

Rain rain go away

because of you the pain will stay

slit my throat cut out my heart

leave me here tear it apart

poison tears stream down my face

my heart beats at a steady pace

as I try to stand again

alone and standing in the rain

I don't need you anymore

is what I think while tears pour

I hate you like I hate my life

but love is what cuts like a knife

love is death and death is you

its pain stains like a black tattoo

those memories came back again

and blind me in the ropes of pain

crimson blood stream down my head

like a long silk ribbon tied by a thread

to a platinum bullet hole in my skull

... now just a memory that's faded and dull
