Chilled fractured waters
reminsice yesterdays
road
I stand and watch
the confused
ripples flow
A darkness taps at
my unsound mind
There is something in
the churning waters,
something I must find
I struggle to remember
I know I left it there
I peer closer into the
murky depths
For a moment, I think
my sight is inept
The water smooths for
but an instance
And I see red drip and
dance
Hand flutters to my ivory
neck
Throat is open, like
a ruby necklace
bedecked
In horror, realisation
pounds upon me
Voice seeks to be
released and free
But then I remember, what
it is I came to look for
in this stream
As the water begins
to swallow me up,
I know what I lost,
it was my scream
