Red paint

118 11 10
                                    

Red paint splattered across the walls

staining them morbid hues.

Red paint on the floor

leaving footprints in my heart.

Red paint on my hands.

Broken paint brushes

slip into unconsciousness

next to the bottle of merlot.

While outside the moon howls in rage

screaming your name,

and I kneel down in wracking sobs

Red paint trickling down my face.
