Exsanguinating

Your pale face
Enclosed warm eyes
You were soft and womanly
And made me think of mother earth
You reminded me of someone
Or an idea I have of someone
And I wanted to lay at your feet
And pour out my heart and life to you
But your face grew paler
And I don't know you
And when I hurt you
As I had to hurt you
You said sorry
When I walked away
My shoes left prints on the floor
Red prints
Made of your life
Your pale face still fills my mind's eye
My picture of mother earth
Now personified
