Murderess

Knife hovering between
you and me
quicksilver eyes piercing
into the depths of a haunting soul
...
screams stemming from aching longing
retching from lush lips
metal plunging into flesh up to the hilt
...
head pounding with the beating of my heart
echoing one word
MURDER
but don't you see?
...
As your blue eyes glaze over
I needed to show you the pain
the pain that wracked my body
as you played your bewitching game
...
a soft sigh escapes your soft lips
lids slowly closing
as scarlet liquid bubbles forth
falling to the floor
as if in slow motion
you lie in a pool of blood and regret
...
the last word you utter before your heart gives out
“MURDERESS”
but you must understand!
...
I couldn't take the pain
the agony you forced me through every day
those blue eyes
were supposed to be mine
...
I know I should be strong
but the pain was just to much
I needed release
from the pain you were putting me through
...
escape was all I could think of
my heart beat with one thought
I was dying
and you were so inviting
yet aching fingers reached for something
that was just beyond them
...
I stare at your unmoving lips
fantasizing that you have whispered
“MURDERESS”
...
quicksilver eyes leaking silent tears
each one a diamond torn from my heart
I'm not sorry for what I have done
I'm just sorry that I let you put me through such agony
...
Pulling the knife from your chest
I slowly wipe it across my fading jeans
leaving tracks of red
then I plunged it into my own chest
...
gasping I collapse next to you
for although you put me through so much sadness
my heart is still yours
I cannot live without you
slowly lids close over quicksilver eyes
while my heart beats one thought
“RELEASE”
