Red

Red

A Poem by Johannah

Staring at nothingness 

I then looked at my hands 

It's a dark shade of red

my insides are churning 

and my soul wants to escape 

What have you done? 

What went wrong? 

The voices in my head are shouting

I can barely hear myself

I saw a reflection of me 

with a lopsided grin 

a dagger at hand 

the roses are everywhere

Tears kept coming 

the voices are not stopping 

Footsteps could be heard

louder and louder 

and then it stopped 

BANG!

Everything is pitch black 

the soul soon escaped 

free at last 

looking down, it saw 

me and her 

in a sea of roses with a scent of iron.

Thanks for the feedback :)
I like how it implies what you did but doesn't say directly. Also good imagery
