Love Poem: Bloody Fingers

Bloody Fingers

a tilted portrait on my wall

a crooked picture

about to fall

you've see one

you've seen them all



broken glass upon my floor

bloody fingers

bloody sore

a loud bang

banging at my door



Who goes there, I scream out

No answer

So I begin to shout

Weeping

What is all this crying about



The door swung open I do recall

there from my picture

once upon my wall

is her

coming to call


First, a warm embrace

Wrapped in leather

and then in lace

a beautiful smile

upon her face


But her smile soon did fall

like a crooked picture

once upon my wall

you've seen one

you've seen them all




Let it go, let her fall

Broken glass

a bloody scrawl

as bloody fingers

trail down 

the bedroom hall
