Red Poem by G J Salgado

Your secrets are like a bullet to my brain
Nothing else in life seemed sane
My emotions you began to drain
All that you left on my soul was a stain
Sand in my mouth from the grit
Your truth showed up inside the spit
My cracks were visible once split
I started the fire that you first lit
From the burns I watched as you turned red
Yet you digested everything that you ever said
Clueless that I wrote all of the words that I read
When you finally decided to save me I was already dead
