Bleed Out

While sadness and despair
Wage war upon the mind
Cold is the steel that glides
Across the skin, so slow.
Like ships upon the sea.
Fiery rage moves even
The thickest of the blood.
Veins sliced neatly open
At neck, forearm and thigh
A blade falls from fingers
Warm scarlet rivers flow
Stealthy, from this body
Life’s crimson waters go.
Finally, sitting in
The sleepy, sticky, pool
Oceans of warm blackish red do cool
Cold now, lies the body
In the pale moon lit night
Oh, never more shall these
Tired eyes use o’ their sight.
Life’s trivial battles
No more torment thy head
Thy temper now is calmed
Now that this soul is dead.
