By unlikely savior

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The knife cuts deep The pain, drawing through my flesh Like a burning razor, Tearing smoothly. Then comes the life Blood oozes from the canyon Living in my arm right now. It rolls smoothly Down my arm, to the floor. Smooth, thick, rich, Taking away my pain, slowly Easing my misery. The figure of a man Clothed in darkness Looms before me. Reaching out for me, holding his hand out. I reach for it Feeling safe, sheltered, home, Dead.just typed this today, it came from the top of my head dealing with all the hardships i've had in the past few weeks, and moving to Ottawa.
