Dear Blood,
Oh, blood, my love, a paradox you are,
A symbol of life, a tragic scar.
You flow and ebb, a constant dance,
A whispered promise, a second chance.
I see your beauty in the sunset's glow,
A canvas painted, where passions flow.
You stain the earth, a fertile mark,
The lifeblood surging, leaving its stark.
You whisper tales of battles won,
Of ancient wounds, beneath the sun.
Of hearts that break, and tears that fall,
The poignant echo of a lover's call.
In every beat, a silent plea,
A symphony of life, for you and me.
I crave your touch, a feverish need,
The warmth that flows, a whispered seed.
My love for you, a crimson stain,
A tapestry of passion, etched in pain.
For in your depths, I find my soul,
A love so fierce, it takes control.
So let the crimson tide flow free,
A testament to your love for me.
For in your veins, my heart resides,
A love eternal, where passion abides.
Love,
Natty.

My hand slaps against my mouth as I try to shut myself up. Don't make too much noise...or he'll hear you.
A vehicle's door opens then slams shut. I don't hear footsteps...but as the minutes go by I begin to hear them; the footsteps get louder and louder and louder, matching the sound of my thundering heart.
That's when I see his shadow cast over the ditch...over the place where I tried to hide.
"Well," he says with a smile in his voice. "I wonder where he could've gone...the footprints stop here...so I wonder if he just...disappeared?"
My body begins to tremble. I can feel it now. The pain. I can feel the pain already.
He jumps down into the ditch...he stands directly in front of me, with his back facing me.
My hand presses harder against my mouth as I try to suppress my whimper, but it's way too late now.
But his body tenses up when he hears it. He laughs bitterly as he turns around slowly, and his eyes cut through my camouflage easily.
"There you are."
