A Bleeding Heart
Have you ever seen a bleeding heart?
Blood gushing out from its arteries
and veins?
Red splattered all around?
A compassionate man would rush in,
with cotton and bandages,
to try and stop the heart from losing
more blood.
Have you ever seen a heart bleeding
from inside?
Can you imagine how one feels his heart
bleeding from inside,
drowning in his own blood?
We are all emergency paramedics,
nursing our own hearts' wounds,
as we try to heal others
with a dose of love....
