Tears of blood

Sharanya Nair

Free verse
Tears of blood,
A quivering smile,
Heart of rose,
thorns tearing inside
Fallen by the greed,
Soul shrieking within
Lusty eyes, embracing smile
A beautiful veneer,
Carving me hollow inside
Shh! Be quiet, don't think
Follow the herd &
you will be fine
Blunt your sword
bleed out the red
Join our crowd &
lure out the rest
Eat out the hearts,
Guzzle away their screams,
Pour out the blood
A macabre of life
Painting RED RED RED
