Forever Abandoned

wrists are severed 
the deepest cuts are traced in red 
so beautiful the seperation of her flesh from the razor 
feeling a pain she's never known 
like broken glass draining
 the blood that's running cold 
she tasted eternity 
it's kiss like a last goodbye
 as she's taken herself from me 
forever abandoned eyes held open, 
the bitter taste of blood and sweat
 the emptiness the suffocates 
a final breath, endless silence 
that dulls the pain beneath her skin
 her vacant eyes 
watching the blood that's running thin 
she tasted eternity
 its kiss like a last goodbye 
she's taken herself from me
Forever Abandoned
