I Bleed


I bleed
Dark crimson drops
Dripping into water
Sounds like, 
“Wo-man, 
        wo-man, 
               wo-man.”

I bleed
Pain, pain
Irrigating the soil
Of my now fertile womb
Seeds planted
Growing into life
I bleed
Only blood prepares 
Where life begins
Blood for life

I bleed
Blush rose, Just a drop
Pain, Pain
To tear the veil
To open the way
The seed to plant
Sounds like,
“Wi-fe,
        Wi-fe,
                Wi-fe.”

I bleed
Deep scarlet waterfalls
The river he rides
Into this bloody world
Pain, Pain
Sounds like, 
“Mo-ther, 
             Mo-ther,
                        Mo-ther.”
I bleed
The woman's war
Death holds my hand
As I scream
I bleed
Only blood can
 bring new life

I bleed
Bottomless red fountains
Poured out on the ground
Pain, Pain
Sounds like, 
“Sav-ior!
         Sav-ior!
                 Sav-ior!”
I bleed
Each drop shed for you
From brow, limbs, and side
To give eternal life

To rip the veil
To open the way
To the most Holy
Only blood can bring life
Only my blood will do, 
so, 
I bleed
