Tears of blood

Were they tear drops
Or blood I saw trickling
Freely
Down the frame of your face
Did you hear me whispering
In silent pray
Forgotten to the world
Lost to myself
The night that seems so dark
And merges into forever
Takes my soul to places
I have long since left
Peace and freedom
Once fought for
Are but lying discarded
collecting dust
Love is
but a pile of bones
Lying in a mound
within the corners of your sanctuary
Can you find yourself in
nightmares
Can you touch the heart
Which bleeds
I see the tears of blood
Running freely
And lean over to taste
the colour of your pain

oh wow, your poet has been well and truly freed Pebs, incredible ending and lines that scream talent x

[Ravyne Hawke]

Wow, Pebbles, this one just blew me away. Your words are powerfully chosen, the last two lines leave me just completely in awe. In fact, I am so in awe, I am having a difficult time reviewing this. I will simply say, this is a difficult subject written with class and style, leaves the reader wanting more, but nothing more, if that can possibly make any sense at all to you.

This is well written. "Can you find yourself in nightmares, can you touch the heart which bleeds, I see the tears of blood running freely" is very dramatic. Great job writing this :) Hope to read more from you.
