I press the blade against the flesh
life's essence hidden right below
just one fast swipe can unleash
a cut to release the torrential flow
the spray in spurts paints a picture on the wall
then the images dissolves....
gravity pulls it to the ground
there it gathers in a pool I stare into it.....
looking into it as a mirror
seeing all that I have in life
seeing what I might miss
only one image forms
a beautiful image
one of who I love
the one I miss
I reach for that smile
failing to lift my hand
all my strength is in her face
all is in that mirror that shows her face
