Arsenic laced wine,
An agonising death
Lace and velvet clad betrayers.
Donning harlequin masks, they smile
Twisted grins, contorting their exquisite features.
The poisoned chalice falls from the victim's hand
Smashing on the floor; glass splinters flying everywhere
Like deadly snowflakes.
Digging into my flesh,
Blinding me.
My blood, thick and red, drips down my fingertips,
Onto my lover's chest.
I am sorry, my love;
I could not save you.

I wrote this a while ago, and am currently basing a short story upon this poem. I'll eventually put that story up. In the meantime, tell me what you think of this.
