Bleeding Heart

By: Paige H

as i sit in my room thinking
about how much you mean to me,
i realize that you're gone
and you're not coming back.


my heart is crying out, but
you're deaf to its tears.
my tears are falling
like the blood dripping from my arm.

the blood drips
and my heart aches.
it aches because
you are no longer in my life.

my tears burn like fire
or acid streaming from my eyes.
my heart aches
like no pain i've ever experienced before.

it's hard for me to realize
that you're really gone.
it's hard for me to accept
that you've moved on.

why don't you hear me crying
and calling for you to save me.
do you not hear me
screaming out for you to rescue me?

do you not feel my pain
seeping through my skin?
do you not see the blood
running through my veins?

as the knife slides down
my arm i feel it.
i feel the cool metal
seeping through my skin.

i wish i could feel
the warmth of your body,
the positive energy
racing through our bodies.

but you're gone out of
my life with no care in the world;
gone, just like the blood from my heart.
