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
