Bleed

If I could bleed for you,
quietly suffering in the night
until I could endure no more,
would it be enough.

If I cried for you,
spilling out my heart
here on this page
with a passion that
lives and breathes deep inside,
would you come back to me.

If I could close my eyes so hard
and raise my clinched fists so high
would God notice my torment
and bring peace to my soul.

How can I live
with only my memories
and still imagine that
I have a life without you.

How can love be so close
and yet never, ever
touch me.

Yoin

Thank you Mysteria

As a general rule i don't ask questions in my poetry verse. lol I hide much of my ignorance tha way. This is a exception to my rule however. I thought the lines were strong enough to carry it. I however refuse to use question marks in any of my poetry. Not proper I know but aahh I very rarely get accused of being proper. lol

Lots to ponder in this.
Punctuation is optional (my opinion)
where poetry is concerned.

This was cool, and achingly heartfelt.
Also, a deep thought provoking write.
Much enjoyed.
