The Blood On My Hands - Poem by =angelic-creation:iconangelic-creation:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Sociopolitical > Open


The blood on my hands, it came to me,
One summer night, beneath the trees.
The bloody tears that fell from the sky,
Covered me and the ground with a sigh.

A single piece, metal in my hands,
Tells me this rain, was once a man.
A dog-tag sits, drowning in blood,
For a war it’s owner never understood.

A scream in my ears, startles me awake,
My trembling worsens, my hands shake.
For one moment, I think myself all right,
But then, I remember…

You did die in the war that night…

I know how people say that their art is a piece of them, but I really feel that way about this one. It's like I managed to translate the feelings in my heart and soul into words and put them here before you.

Every day my heart goes out to those left behind in this war and all the others. The pain can strangle you, try to pull you to follow the one you loved and lost. Strength is commodity as precious as hope, and depression and despair are the enemies in the war internal.

It is beautifully done, and, I believe everybody who has lost a loved one can relate to that poem.

Anniverseries are never easy to deal with. When they are of a death, they're even harder. This really helped me get through it this year. I'm ok.

Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.
