Silver knife,
Sharpens quill to write my life,
Dip in blood,
Dip in heart,
Dip into my very soul,
To catch mood,
To impart,
To write before turning cold,
In twilight,
Candlelight,
I record my seething darkness,
For warm words,
Scrawling out my soul’s coldness

Thank you, Sunshine,
Wasn’t sure anyone would even know this tune,
But I had to modify it a little, to keep it on the page.
Besides the rest is about Love and Suicide,
And this was written for someone about the writing,
Not the subject written about.
Pleased you enjoyed.

Thank you, Gentle Spirit,
Glad you liked it.

writing is in your blood
or
is your blood the writing

Thank you, 1slick_lady,

very pleased you liked.
