Blood From Broken Hearts

Once upon a morning hour
Waiting so desperately
She crept into his heartache
Where he kept silence disease

Drained down for a modest taste
Too much for his release
Was quick and then she left him
But she’d be following

Inside she wept his sorrow
Like nails drifting down the stream
Waiting for no tomorrow
Inside her darkest dream

She cradled alone, so empty
There’s no more blood to shed
Come step into the fire
Seek your only bed

Burn away
Now
Step outside
You won’t be

Turning back
Now
Look outside
It’s time to

Find escape
Now
Knowing flame
Will take you

Far away
Now
You decay
I thank you

... For saving me...

Not only is this poem written well with good choices of words, but it is also written with rhythem when read, something that most poems seem to be missing. Well done.

i am a big fan of how the verses became shorter...they spoke fast and forceful. " Burn away Now Step outside You won’t be" thats definately going in my little ass pocket of awesomeness.

I had to regroup myself after reading this.....there was something about the way this all kept sounding perfectly together leaving with the thought that losing sometimes comes as salvation rather than damnation sometimes..

Brandon this is one of your many bests....and it somehow resembled a relatable part to me.

Good to see you my friend. And you came bearing gifts. I'm with purr and Urb, the ending was deliciously clever. Your knife cuts ever so softly. :::OLd

I love the flow in this, especially the last half of the poem. Incredible ending to this, very well done. ~Ship!

Exactly what I was thinking! Very cleverly formatted indeed; brings a real driving, staccato pace - great stuff. purr
