The Last Drop

Catch the last drop of blood

For it is the final tear

There shall no longer be sadness

For her heart has stopped its painful rhythm

Taste the sweetness of the blood

For it holds the last moment of life

The last vestige of pain

Her final breath in this life

Watch the last drop fall to the ground

Shattering upon impact

How like her soul, that final drop is

For neither could endure the fall

Watch the final drop dry and fade

Browning with age, forgetting why it was spilled

Forgetting what foolish thought made the blood flow

What senseless regret ended her life
