Bitter at first
Then metallic
But deeper than that
Pain
Anger
Regret
I don’t know anymore
Why I’m walking here
This battlefield
A lone soldier
So that taste
It’s familiar now
More than just a wound
I’ve fallen on my own sword

Vivid descriptions. Wasn’t quite sure what was going on at first, but I figured it out in the end..yay me. Not sure I would ever want to taste that. I am sure it is one that would haunt a soul forever.
