Mendel's Peas

Look at that blood on your hands

it's spreading out to cover up your whole conscience

where did it come from?

"It's all because of my soul's darkness"

" This abyss is growing larger and its' not leaving me"

"Help me cleanse it"

The stain is a splatter of multitudinous conclusions

all roses are withering as you maimed us

stop trying to hide all the facts

as a fallen star seeks a way back to the heavens

it weakens and denies all truth

"It's all because of my soul's darkness"

"This abyss is growing larger and it's not leaving me"

"Help me cleanse it"

Lost in a paradox

come find me and lead me to greatness

All of love was once gone but the grace is stronger

keep me with you

" It's all because of his soul's darkness"

"The abyss is frozen in time, forget all the empty"

Let me cleanse it

"stop trying to hide all the facts
as a fallen star seeka a way back to the heavens
it weakens and denies all truth"

very true. I like this poem a lot.. especially with your titles. Due to the fact that I'm a reader (not the writer) it's hard to incorporate the titles (especially when I don't know if they're more deliberate than they appear) into the actual poem... though, regardless of whether you're supposed to, doing so helps to look at the piece through a different set of eyes. anyway. I'll stop rambling. Good poem.
