It was a cold winter’s eve,
The stars had been scattered across the night.
I lay there, for I had tried to take my life….
The crimson against the snow glistened like liquid ruby
As the…
World …
Began…
To…
Spin…
Closing my eyes, I heard your footsteps in the snow.
You pulled me to my feet and wiped away my tears.
But I could not look at you, for
Although my voice cries for redemption,
My soul begs for deliverance,
And as you swore I’d be okay,
The sight of my blood in the snow
PROVED…
YOU…
WRONG…
You saw me the other day, broken on the floor,
My wrists slit, choking as I begged the Lord to let me go…
You stood there and watched me, waiting for me to pick myself up.
I did.
Slowly, I seemed to recover as you held out a hand.
I took it.
Never again…
For since you put the water to my lips, I swear you gave me sweet poison,
Then you gave me a rose.
A black one.
“To give you courage,” you whispered in my ear as I held onto you for sweet life.
BUT LIFE’S NOT SO SWEET, BE WARNED!
You sweep the hair from my face as the icy wind blew harshly on my skin.
You smile at me, but again, the
World …
Began…
To…
Spin…
You let me fall to the cold ground,
I gasp as the pain shot through my wrists,
My cold, dark blood began to curdle to ice.
I began to cry as you knelt beside me.
You took my dying head in your hands and kissed me.
“I love you.” I choked.
You smiled cruelly and lay my head in the snow and throw the rose onto my chest.
“Fare ye well.”
I reached out my hand as your blurred shadow walked away.
I called out your name, but you walked on.
I got to my knees and crawled three steps,
But….
….I collapsed
In the snow,
The ice hit me hard.
Darkness,
Then-
Inspired by reality.... almost.

Excellent poem
All alone are we, the scattered and the few
all alone am I , and all alone are you.
We all have lost someone we once held dear,
we all have lost
and so have you my dear.
you told me to never leave you to never go away.
But then, you took my heart, and tore it up, and threw it away.
I couldn't leave you though, you left me. I tried to remain, but you chained me back, you kept me here. and I sank into the ground
