Author's Notes: I wrote this in early high school and it's free hand so don't expect many rhymes.

Fear of Blood

Blood red nails

As red as her blood

Something reaches; something pulls

All is silent as the night

Reaching for that blinding light

How had she lost them both?

How within one year alone?

That dreadful war, continuing along

Terrible truths, trying to belong

She cries out in anguish and terror

She killed them both with that wretched necklace

How could they die? How, when she loved them so?

So many horrors, so many mistakes

Well, she'll never make that mistake again

She runs from her fears, afraid of what comes next

She lays awake, regretting it all late at night

Why? She constantly asks herself

Her nails painted after what she fears most

Can she ever learn to live again?

Or love again?

What it all leads down to are these

blood red nails
