Bleeding Out

Bleeding Out I stuff the holes in my soul Like a sinking ship The places where you bleed out of me Smokey memories rising Curling between my everyday thoughts I’m losing you quietly… Slowly… Two souls joined briefly within a single beat. The syncopation of a tiny rhythm Then, filled my ears with the possibilities of life and left me breathless One flesh Until… The fragile life expelled in blood and pain Severing… Choreographing independence in each breath dancing a spiral away from my warmth leaving me churning with worry breathless again, but, now with fear for you.. all the while you… Grasping at counterfeit reflections Sparkling, beckoning… Masking the cruel edge… of the abyss
