Lamia

Ruby drips from your mouth

swirling betrayal in my eyes.

My face is a blanched sheet

Over the pain and the shock.



A River of Red flows from my neck.

Wet and warm to my sides.

Your frigid fingers on my wrist.

Feeling for a pulse.



The blood begins to pool

And the black starts to fade.

As guilt bleeds upon your face.

And all light bleeds from mine
