Caustic Strokes
Stark sadness
Gone from me
My passion of red
A darkened hue
Merely a clouded gore
Once a raging fire
No longer such intensity
Like a faded ember
Caustic strokes
Bluster the surface
Bleeding through
Flooding my skin
It hurts
I cannot breathe
Heaviness has come
Upon me
Within me
Defiling me
I reproach myself
But was it I
Was it to be
I am not aware
Of this Im sure
I loved
I love
I breathed
I breathe
Is it to be
No more....
Gone from me
My passion of red
A darkened hue
Merely a clouded gore
Once a raging fire
No longer such intensity
Like a faded ember
Caustic strokes
Bluster the surface
Bleeding through
Flooding my skin
It hurts
I cannot breathe
Heaviness has come
Upon me
Within me
Defiling me
I reproach myself
But was it I
Was it to be
I am not aware
Of this Im sure
I loved
I love
I breathed
I breathe
Is it to be
No more....
