Bleeding In

by Keleena   Nov 25, 2010


Run into - Collide,
My inside outside,
Cold skin you can't see underneath,
Hides away all that is beneath,
'What is real, and what is unseen?'
Marred together in a dream between.
Sleep inside, Stay,
Long to hide, Away,
Live to feel,
Feel to heal.
Bleed to see if you still can,
But crimson drops inward ran,
Waking me,
Breaking me,
Again.

Cold tears were cried,
When the light died . . . Again.

Somewhere the unseen,
Inside the outside,
Somewhere in-between.
Lost unfelt, unheard, and disbelieved,
Severed deeper, coveted, and grieved.

"Sunlight Penetrate Into The Skin,
And Stop These Wounds From Bleeding In."

Cold skin you can't see underneath,
Hides away all that is beneath,
Wake inside
From outside
Sleep inside
Long to hide
Away,
Stay
Forever - in the darkness, Not what you know is real,
Lost unlikeness, Because outside you can't even feel,
So die,
Inside.
Live in the skin - and underneath,
Outside the inside, inside beneath,
Hide away in the in-between
What is real and what is unseen.

Pushing out the outside - keep it away,
Suck in the darkness, I wander and stray,
Inflicted inside,
From the cruel outside,

(Sunlight Can't Penetrate My Skin,
And All My Wounds Keep Bleeding In.)

Warmth can't reach the inside of me,
All it knows is the pale I see,
And the cold
Long and old
Where the tears have dried,
And the spirit died.

I understand that this is a bit jumbled, repetitive, and not as eloquently put as some better writing etiquette may allow, However, I do feel it carries over the emotion I want to portray, and therefore, I am happy with it.

    You state you feel it's a "a bit jumbled", but I think that's exactly what it feels like when we are being crushed by the fingers of torment and sadness. "Sunlight penetrate... stop these wounds from bleeding in" gives emphasis to the entire work. Nice!

    Instantly I could see you were a talented writer. I thought your words were strung together brilliantly and I enjoyed reading it, but as you said at the bottom - it is jumbled, which makes it very difficult for it to flow, which hindered my enjoyment of it. Again, I thought the writing was brilliant, I just wasn't so keen on the structure.

    Wow. This was honestly brilliant. I do not care if it repeats itself just because I write poems that repeat themselves. I just love the words you used. Amazing job.
    Keep writing.

    Kisses!
