Bloody Hands

Poetry and art about the decay of first love.

Bloody+Hands

Jasmine Lizarraga, Poet/Artist

The blood on my hands, dripping down my

fingertips from holding your heart too harshly,

 

*plop*

 

*plop*

 

Each drop representing a part of our love slowly

fading away into complete nothingness.

 

The stench of metal filling my mind with

pain and despair – the same way it did when you

first left me.

 

The blood on my hands, dripping down my

fingertips from killing my heart because

you simply no longer wanted it.

 

*plop*

 

*plop*

 

So why should I?
