Bleeding You Gone
I stand posed, another goodbye about to leave your lips.... another blood droplet plops to the floor. I hear the phone ring, I ignore the caller ID in favor of another slice into myself.... forcing the knife to bleed you from me. The phone falls silent, and I stare in pain at the only sign you may have cared... and my toes dip in the red puddle beneath them. I swipe at the tear, denying its affects upon my dying heart as another dares to fall.... and I open my skin to let you flow free of me. Another ring, assaulting my frantic efforts to void myself of every memory of you... the knife falls to the floor disappearing beneath the red lake all around me. I grab the phone, choke out 'I love you' and 'be happy, goodbye'..... my nails tear the flesh where the tears had betrayed me. My heart slows, I feel everything about you draining away.... you were everything to me..... My eyes close, a final image of what wasn't ours to share imprints my memory..... quietly I fade away, forever free of it all.... Within the sound of silence, I bled you gone. Are you happy now? She'll never know I was there with you..... for there's nothing left of me to find.... except maybe?? a stain upon YOUR heart? if you had one.... ~~Robin Dawn 'ChinaSwan' Palmer ~December 16, 2009~ By ChinaSwan
