Tainted

Tainted red tears,
Fall from my cheeks,
Tainted red hands,
Covered in blood,
Tainted red skin,
Bleeding more and more,
Tainted red blade,
Blood running down it,
Tainted red eyes,
Bleeding from within,
Tainted red,
Blood soaked clothes,
Tainted red body,
Your life was slain.

Tainted red skin,
Oh look its here again,
Blood tainting me again,
Tainted red tears,
Falling again,
Another life slain,
What was to gain?
Tainted tears,
Ice cold pain,
Tainted red with blood.

That is the best description of a bleeding heart in heartbreak . . . I love the vividness of it. "Tainted red tears" . . . a painful sadness of loss, especially loss of a loved one. Ice cold pain--I like that touch, too. Strange how the hottest tears of blood often feel ice cold when the heart's hurts, isn't it?

Nice theme.Nice expression of pain through words.

Hmmmm. Interesting. This sounds quite vampiric in nature, and definately emo. This is really good though!!! I haven't read many writers who are so comfortable with the idea of blood and death and such. Anyway, good write.
