Seeing Red

HATE
the deadly poison
is coursing
through these veins
CRUEL
the mark
you hand
left 
 A          C           R         O           S            S
my cheek
BETRAYAL
the tracks
of tears
down my
cheeks.
ANGER
the primitive beat
sending my heart
running
into my
ribcage.
BOOM
the sound of the
GUN
the body
dropping
the eyes
closing.

thats a sad ending but it leaves one to know that we never know unless we been there it is the unexpected that causes us to worry
