Blood stained silk
Wafts over trembling body
Hand prints left
Like the words you shouted
Falling like raindrops
Smashing her heart
Into a million pieces
Abandoned in a warehouse
Which once held her dreams
Tentacles of bushes
Push at the seams of her soul
Crushing it beyond measure
As her teardrops fall
Look into her eyes
Darkened by suffering
Watch closely and back away
Or you will join her
Still waiting
For death to claim
Its own
