Thread: Forever it will live on...

Forever it will live on..

She wakes up
In the middle of the night
To the stench of blood
On her hands

Whose blood it is
She does not know
Yet one the floor beside her
Is the man she loves

Slowly She gets up
Watching for his every move
Only she knows on the inside
There will be none

She trembles in fear
In the undying knowledge
That there on the floor beside her
Is her dead husband

She screams out loud
Calling his name
Wondering if she’s going insane
And hoping it’s just a dream

She gives up and with
Blood dripping from her cold dead hands
She travels into the bathroom
To see her reflection in the mirror

She’s covered in blood
From her head to her toes
There are no markings
But somehow she already knew that

Only then
Does she remember
The event’s
Of the night before

Shaking she grabs a razor
And holds it against her wrist
She’s dead on the inside
As the razor slides deep in her skin

She slowly sinks to the floor
Knowing she’s responsible
On the inside
She turns hard as stone

Her heart doesn’t beat
Nor does she breathe
She’s no longer living
But dead indeed

They loved each other
With everything they were
And forever will it live on
In the memory of their daughters
