Blood On Her Hands

My love,

Why doesn’t she respond?

I drive to her house,

The light in her room is on.

She is here.

I sigh in relief, I thought she had gone.

I climb the tree

That leads to her bedroom.

Her beautiful head is bent over something in her lap,

As she sits on the edge of her bed.

I carefully open the window,

And let myself in.

She doesn’t seem to hear me,

Her music plays softly in the background.

“My love,” I say quietly,

“Are you alright?”

Her tear-stained face is what I greet

When I walk around the bed.

I look down and see blood on her hands,

And a knife against her thigh.
