Blood

Its everywhere
The knife is stained red
Red as a ruby
Death approaches me
I'm not afraid
I welcome his bittersweet embrace
My blood flows out
The strength is leaving me now
I feel the end drawing near
This is it
The end of me and my story
Or is it merely the ending of one chapter
And the beginning of another?
There it goes
The last of my blood leaves me
Now I lay me down to sleep one last time
I am dead but I am at peace
Don't mourn me
I died as I have lived, by my own terms
