The Night I Could Not Love You Anymore Poem by Shelby Jasmin Estrada

I'm lying with you in a bed with white sheets
We are just lying there, talking
I reach under the matress, while you start to fall asleep

The night is slowly drifting with the smell of roses and sound of birds chirping
I reach for the one thing, that will end your hurting me
The one thing to put a stop to this pain and suffering
The dagger my father gave me, on his death bed

The blanket is red, so it won't make a difference

I raise the dagger and aim for your heart, to make you die quicker
I listen for your last breathe and the beat your heart makes

As I run, run out the door into the forrest,
I can't stop crying, I never cry
If I didn't love you, then why am I crying

I didn't need any more suffering and the wreched pain you caused me
The trees whipping past me,
My dress blowing like a leaf caught in the wind

The snow, cold under my bare feet, is white as can be
The blood on my hands is dripping slowly, making a path
As the stars are slowly being erased from the sky
I am closer to the temple
The temple I can hide and let my fears go

One thing I am sure
I cannot go back to that house
The house that I used to know
With his body lying on the bed,
With blood falling to the floor
