The Meaning of BleedingA Poem by AliciaBBe prepared for some weird structural changes throughout. Just warning you. :)The heart. It beats. The blood. It flows. A red river rushing Beneath the skin. Defined. Contained. No wounds. No pain. A body that houses The passion within.
A form that is flawless, The skin smooth and white. These tender caresses, So gentle, so light. So perfect and beautiful, Steadfast and fine. So worthy of living, So ready to die.
The scarlet river Bursts its banks With roaring screams of agony. The tears of pain And crimson rain Combine in horrid harmony. I watch you bleed, Your passion freed By wicked gashes in your flesh. Your heart unfolds, Your love now told, For sacrifice is sweetest fresh.
You arch Your back. Your hands Are pierced. You’re tortured and beaten, Yet still you remain. A fool. A friend. A selfless end, Compassionate spirit Embracing the pain.
Your body, so perfect, Now bloodied and marred. Although you may heal, E’er will you bear scars. Yet greater is sorrow And sacrifice borne By those on whose bodies No blemish will form.
I cannot stand To see your face Or hear the whip upon your back. I meet your eyes, And I despise The foolish loyalty I lack. With courage true, So much of you Comes pouring out so willingly. Such horrid pain - I can’t explain The sacrifice you make for me.
Someday Will you tell me why you did this? Will you face the mirror with regret, Gazing at the scars upon your skin And in your mind? Will you teach me how to love the way you do?
Such torment I can’t fathom, But perhaps someday I’ll understand The meaning Of bleeding For you. © 2016 AliciaBAuthor's Note
