so i bleed
By gspot
i hear the drip upon my foot
i look down
and see the blood pool beneath my boots
i follow the scarlet pattern up my legs
i play connect the dots in my mind on my ruined pants
my eyes are drawn to my stomach and chest
my shirt is tye dyed crimson
rivulets flow down my arm
i trace them with my hand to my forearm
my wrist
and upward
over my hand
to my fingers
from which the precious liquid flows
Love Lost
It Slipped Through My Fingers
I Held On Too Tightly
And So
i bleed

I actually agree with you on that. I think this is the best of the poetry. It is one of the few that are serious.

Dragging your ass out of bed. Yeah, I do that. This would also make an awsome painting. What would the expression on your face be?

thank you. I was about asleep last night and this image popped into my head. I dragged my ass out of the blankets and wrote it down.
