I smell it on my fingers,

Like steel beams' scent lingers,

That bright, filthy tang,

The stench from where bullets sang,


I taste in my throat

When I'm all out of my breath,

And I feel like I'm about to choke

As I struggle for my health


I hear it in my veins,

Blue yet black and red,

Pulsing in my vessels,

Pounding in my head


I feel it on my chest,

Seeping through my clutches,

Pouring warm from pain,

Staining red what it touches


I see it on the floor,

I see it on my walls,

I see it in the war,

And as my lifeless body falls.
