You said 
there would be blood

I didn&#39;t believe it

a red sunset
just in time

before darkness fell

Thank you for this poem. Keep writing please.

This is a very short but effective piece. It works through implication rather than explanation. I liked the way the imagery shifts from expectation to quiet visual resolution, and the “red sunset” line carries the emotional weight without needing expansion.
