Thicker than water

Watching red blossoms
on the floor
like the roses you sent
only much more.

it's dripping down
down
down

like rain falling
drip
by drip

or our smiles
slowly
so slowly
fading

even as we watch.
and wait.
and laugh.

so I'll watch our hands
entwined together
as the blood flows over,
binding us forever...
