Bleeding Heart

A cutter
Injury to her wrist
Bleeding heart
Glows in dark
Knife splicing her purple pain
Death sliding down drain

Oy. That last line slits my writing wrist. Powerful penning, Karen.

A profound yet, somehow, compulsive write, strangely beautiful in its dreadful finality. I so want to know this woman’s story… alas, I already know how the story ends. Wonderful write, Karen. All the best in the contest. Terry

Your "Bleeding Heart" is a powerful read. So sad for many... This is a new style for me to write in. "Good Luck" I did " Are You Insultive?" Have a Blessed Day Writing Away......................
