Falling

You cut me in two where I shall bleed
I take it out when I feel the need
As the blood bled from my pale skin, I could still feel the pain that he caused
In that one moment, I thought I was dead

Crying, screaming and kicking
I’ve never felt this pain 
As I sat here watching the gore running down my blanched coating, I thought to myself I want to carry on
My appendage felt as though it was a thin slice of bread waiting to fall apart

How could you do this to me?
How can you still do this to me?

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.
