More Than Usual

by Sandra D   Nov 28, 2006


Just the sight of it
Starting at her wrists
All the way up her arm,
Down to her fingertips

Just the sight of it
Calms her down slowly
It's the kind of high
Only to come from a blade

Just the sight of it
Makes her forget everything
She can't remember why this time,
Or even where she is

Just the sight of it
Dripping onto the floor
It's already stained,
From every time before

Just the sight of it
And she begins to realize
It's more than usual,
Now a pool of blood beneath her

Just the sight of it
Makes her faint
Yet she feels nothing
As her lifeless body hits the floor

Just the sight of it
The blood-stained note
And they all realize
"It's all his fault."

    Although the beginning line for each stanza was the same, it never sounded like it was just repeating itself. You've chosen a great line to use, and you've used it so effectively for the poem! Astonishing write... 5/5
