Don't Spill the Blood

By StaryEyed1

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

last night i dreamed my head was split in two just couldn't believe it felt so real watching myself fall out all the things i'd held so dear kept hidden inside the flesh exposed to the world and the prying eyes that follow floating in the surrounding puddle mixing with the crimson blood of my struggles... bathing in the black blood of my pain... eyes closed the tears flowed freely secrets i'd fought to lock away continued pouring from the open wound and the world went on its merry way wrenching my heart away dragging it through the dust as the world skipped along i felt the nightmare wouldn't cease fighting as i was to heal the gash light broke as i came awake gently running hands over my head the scar throbbed lightly constant painful reminder of all the things i have hidden Written December 31st, 2001 © on Dec 31 2001 09:50 AM PST    18 • 0 • 1
