This Blood For You

This Blood for You This blood so dark it's barely red It represents the tears I've shed These tears I've cried I've cried for you These cuts I've made are for you too But through these tears And through this pain The pain you caused Puts it to shame And now I'm here And my heart beats faint This blood so red It looks like paint These aren't the words I wish to say I look above It's to him I pray It's to him I pray that you were here To push aside this awesome fear So what comes next? Is it dark?  Is it light? For I am marked. These tracks of blood They mark my wrists They mark my heart As I clench my fists So as I take my last breath To you my thoughts They have fled Did you love me Did you care? Coz it's with you, my blood, I share.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
