Red Ribbon

A red ribbon bound him

to his dark, tortured past:

A constant reminder

of why he'd never last.

A hollow voice spoke

as a whisper through the trees:

"Cut the ties," it said,

"or stay forever on your knees."

I like the reference back to the ribbon in the last line, a wonderfully solemn short poem. Well done!

Simple, slightly morbid. I like it. You've got a dark mind, I can tell.
