Love Run Red

A Poem by Cari Lynn Vaughn

The pain of love

Love Run Red

I ache

My open heart bleeds

I am sharp

I cut both ways

Unable to meet everyone’s needs

Is more than I can take

Piercing their skin

And withdrawing always

I hurt

My edges dripping

With the blood of both

of those whom I love

I am pain

More Occam than Mock

My blade is my desire

That you long for

Tear me you cry

Let my love run red
