Bleeding On Paper

If I bleed on paper, is it really blood or is it just words, droplets of phrases, splattered feelings of this love coursing through my veins for her, coagulating into meanings on pale parchment skin leaving behind heart shaped scars that no one will ever see?

This is beautiful, painful and raw. Scars on paper are okay, I show them there too.

Thank you Jo, that is always a thought I'm sure many of us wonder, though I'm also certain many do not want those scars to show. I appreciate your kind words.

Thanks so much Tim. I always hope that spilling it in poetry will help, it doesn't always work that way.

I used to think that words were just words...but yes sometimes...its real blood on paper.Your poem really fits my mood today.I wish I had uplifting words to offer you, but I have no words at all.Heartwrenching.
