Can you see the blood
Its all over my hands
Smearing every where I touch and trailing back to my crimes
Can you see the stains
It's crusting around my eyes
All I can see is red but soon it will be black
Can you hear the screams
Echoing vividly in my mind
Deafening my thoughts
Can you see the scars
Scratches burning my skin
Forceful reminders of what I have done
If you can't
Then why do I remember
Why can I never forget
Its all over my hands
Smearing every where I touch and trailing back to my crimes
Can you see the stains
It's crusting around my eyes
All I can see is red but soon it will be black
Can you hear the screams
Echoing vividly in my mind
Deafening my thoughts
Can you see the scars
Scratches burning my skin
Forceful reminders of what I have done
If you can't
Then why do I remember
Why can I never forget
My first free verse in a while that I didn't decide to rewrite as a rhyming poem. Its hard to keep it as is but I assume every one must think I am getting stale for rhyming all the time.
