A Bloodshot Dove.

By Exodus

Stars in the TV screen
Die out through. paper thin
The blood of winter slowly
Bleeds through. exposing
The virus
Hands outstretched to help
The others
Too late. screams their eyes
Under a midnight blanket
Of cold
The window was left open
And no one answered your call

    Chilling and fun, but if you want the readers to see its meaning, you may have to add more clarity.
