Bloody Tears

I am sitting in this empty room
Gazing at the remnants of a once happy life
A life that was filled with laughter
A life so innocent, so carefree.

A tear forms in the corner of my eye
And slowly traces its way down my cheek
I wipe it away with the back of a hand
Glistening there, is a bloody tear.

I lie on the dusty floor
Letting the memories wash over me
A younger me running through fresh cut grass,
Caught up in the magical worlds I created.

A wave of sadness washes over me
As more tears make their way down my face
Bloody tears that signify the inner
Turmoil inside my heart.

A cloud passes overhead,
Momentarily darkening the room
I think of how quickly my life fell apart
I had everything, and now nothing.

A voice calls out to me, bringing
Me out of my memories
I hastily stand up and wipe away the tears
Taking one last look at the remnants
Of a once happy life, before walking away forever.
