Tears of Blood

             In
             my
           veins
        flows the
       blood that
     drips from the 
    pain and misery                                      of
    my lost sorrow.                                     Drip,
      drip in never                                      ending
         streams                                        of crimson,
                                                           tears flowing
                                                           from  swollen
                                                          eyes. The dark
                                       of                    sad lonely
                                    nights                     calls
                                   my soul.
                                  I feel not
                                 the pain as                                   it
                                blackens my                               ebon
                                glass heart.                               Never
                                      will I                                  try again
                                                                             to feel joy
                                                                             as once in             my

       It                                                                                             is but
    a sad                                                                                          dream,
    a lost                                                                                          desire,
   gone in                                                                                        the fall
   of each                                                                                         blood

This is really amazing James, so I know like everyone said creative, so I'll say inventive because I think you actually did something that's not been done, or at least I've never seen it. Magnificent work of art!
