Murdered Love Poem by Kay Brown

I had no choice

I picked it up

And plunged in the knife

Her heart bled out as she stared at me

With a gaze so broken

And a trust so betrayed

That it broke my heart to watch

As I turned away

She screamed as she fell

& breathed her last in the dirt

Upon which she lay

When I turned towards her

Her white dress was red

And her eyes stared up at the sky

I took out the knife

& wiped it as I walked away

Away from the one who had been mine alone

Away from the one who had loved me alone
