Trace the blood back to my heart
and do your best to wipe
up the trail of red I leave
wherever I go

try to tape the pieces
of me back together
but know that I'm not the same
now that I've been broken
and that my wound may very well
be a mortal one
to never fully heal but instead
slowly
ever so slowly
bleed me to death

*BUGS* I love you.

If you would be known, and not know, vegetate in a village; If you would know, and not be known, live in a city.

Like this description here...

'Trace the blood back to my heart
and do your best to wipe
up the trail of red I leave
wherever I go'

OK, but if you duct tape the guy to a tree, pour honey all over him and drizzle a thin trail of honey to the nearest anthill, it could help.  *smile*

Well done poem.
