Child of Ink

My hands are covered in black blood of the child I just murdered.

The ink that ran through its veins now splattered up to my elbows

With my tear streaked face

I carry my bloody deed to the grave with no name for the child of inked words

The child was of many words that’s why it had no name

Now lays tattered and torn at my feet

There will be no trail for this deed as I pat the fresh dirt smooth onto the grave

For I created the inked so I have the right to end its life but

But it still hurts as much as it would have if the child of inked words

Bled not words and ink but red and the ending of a beating heart

Children come in different shapes and sizes

No matter if the child is of paper, ink, and of an author’s imagination

It’s still a child.

Bright and innocent…
