Solace in Darkness

My heart was once blackened with each droplet of lies left by him,

Now it hangs iridescently by a tree,

Wrung out are the bloodshot tinted tears,

Leaving me to rest in the velvet dark, 

As his crimson stained memory drips into oblivion.

Yes, indeed it was for Keith's prompt "Bloodshot". The prompt led me to a direction that I don't normally write. I didn't realise that you were hosting this weeks prompt. Sara and I will surely write to it. Thank you for your support and lovely words of encouragement as always sis.
