Blood

The words you said cut deep inside,
through my heart, like a glinting knife.
the pain runs hot in my weakening, veins
searing white, the blinding pain.
i know two ways to ease the hurt-
release the blood or with death to flirt.
crimson rivers flow at my cry,
i'm begging now- please let me die.
why did you have to say those cruel words?
my hope flew away- like flock of birds.
there was one that hit me hard-
it twisted and wrenched and tore my heart.
one simple word has brought me here,
taken happiness, filled me with fear.
fear of not being in your arms tonight-
who will you be holding tight?
who's lips will you kiss so soft?
i hate myself- i hate these thoughts.
come to me- please heal my sorrows
heal me now and i swear to follow
you so faithfully until the end-
as you lover, your wife, and eternal friend.
