"His Fault"

"His Fault"

One drop of blood
Mingling with a single salty tear.
They hit the floor with a silent splash.
In one hand, she grips a
knife.
In the other, her
heart.
Mangled, bloody, and broken.
"His fault"
She whispers to the walls.
She drops the knife with a clatter,
the heart with a 
thud.
"His fault."
she repeats.
A solitary tear rolls down her cheek
as she falls in slowmotion
to the dusty floor.
She utters the words one last time,
before silencing
forever.
"His Fault"

This is quite the debut poem I must say. Suicide is a very difficult subject matter to deal with. It can be emotionally draining to write about as well. This poem is deeply intense and invokes the reader to ponder its verse. I have a series of 4 poems that involve depression and suicide.- here they are if u find sometime to check them out .. 1) Maybe Tomorrow 2) On The Cliff's Edge 3) In My Desperate Hour 4) In A Blink Of An Eye ..... Anyway, Great Write my friend - I'll be back again to check out more. :) Ken

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
