A solitary drop of blood,
Ran beneath the sheets.
Christening the stale air,
Highlighting the defeats.
Exhaling out a mighty breath,
She sobbed her tears of sadness.
Awakening those dark sensations,
Twisting them into madness.
This blood had stained her comfort,
And left it tinged in red.
Unable to ask for an explanation,
To the unshakeable words that were said.

Instead a reply from down below,
Contorted her face askew.
Revealing only a vivid memory,
That she wished to be untrue.
Fearing only the inner demons,
Who should have been left alone.
Instead they came back to haunt her,
Making her fear the unknown.
Smiling at the reflection held so close,
Appearing an image of rage.
A chapter had closed and another,
Still kept the light on centre stage.

A past that was so hard to leave,
Crept up and tapped her on the back.
To live the nightmare once wasn't enough,
Again it took the chance to attack.
With this devilish plan,
Came the abandonment of all hope.
The blood now carried a scent,
Stealing the ability to cope.
Now, what does it matter?
The feelings of happiness have gone astray.
Now the blood that runs is dirty,
And a pictorial of pain it does display.

i really liked the imagery in this, i've often felt like the past was sneaking up on me and waiting to attack.  this is very well written, keep posting all of your work.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

This was so sad! But it was definitely written well and the words sounded like they were meant to be put together.  You have a knack for writing.
