Bleeding Out

Feeling tired, my energy draining
Heavy is my breath
My eyes close, as if I'm sleeping

I feel a tingling inside
It's warming
But somehow I still feel cold

I listen to the beat of my heart
I count its rhythm
There is pain, yet it feels good

Relaxation now sets in
My mouth becomes dry
And a smile forms upon my face

I think of words I used to speak
Of poems I use to phrase
What meaning do they keep

What do I leave behind for this world
Any useful guidance
I spoke only from my heart

Even in this moment
I cannot refrain
I'm doing it right now

I see that words
Just like myself
Seem to be bleeding out
