Blood
by Misti Dawn
(Ponca City , Oklahoma)
The knife slides across my skin
So sharp
So quick
So sure in its final destination
Blood drips down my arm
And spreads like a spider web across my hands
And drips from my finger tips
Pooling at my feet
To stain the white carpet red
Caught up in the intense red color
I can’t even remember why
I can’t remember why I shouldn’t
Then I remember him
And how much I love him
And how I never wanna lose him
What have I done?
