Blood and Water
By Scarrzz
Always moving, Hither, Yon
Essence roils in angry skies
Churning, Raging, Savage Squall
I coalesce and take my flight
Downward, ever Downward go
Amidst the jarring Thunder's Might
Perchance upon a shaking girl,
Her lips are parted as she cries
TAKE ME GOD, TAKE ME NOW
LET YOUR LIGHTNING END MY LIFE
My never ending journey turns
Through darkened tunnels full of strife
Then I am her, and she is me,
For in her eyes, myself I see
Late that night, on into morn
and shaking on the sodden ground
She asks again, “Why should I live,
If this is all you've got to give?”
Pain, and Pain, and Endless Pain,
Forsaken,
lying in the rain
Then as the light hints at the sky
Through beauty of a silver mist
She takes the knife and plunges deep
into the breast once tender kissed
I am a pool of flowing red
Mingled now with bitter tears
We are from that pain released,
and take our path unto the sea
Only to begin again
and nevermore to look behind
Author's Note:
It was a subtle thought, but I wrote this from the disembodied perspective of water vapor that coalesces into a single drop of water that falls onto the main character and is consumed, becoming a part of her - then moving on yet again.Comments on "Blood and Water"

a pool of flowing red. reminds me of the end of the book the great gatsby. such a sad thought sewn into those lines and crawling out among these. the feeling is the same, the ones you want always leave before youve ever thought to say goodbye..~moony (sigh)
