bright red pomegranates

and crimson red blood

though the colors are the same,

one makes your wrists flood.

its like the juice of cherries

trickle down your skin

or the lack of food

that makes you thin.

rain and tears

mix within your eyes,

streaming down your face

as you silently cry.

not a peep

not a word

as you die in pain

not a sound

not a tone

as your curse in vain.
