I am bleeding
From mistakes
That are ruinous

Tears are streaming
From feeling
The pain felt

This red blood
Stains whatever it touches
A last reminder
Of what is true
We lose what is inside
The blood of life
The feelings that reside

The blood taints
What has purity
Once it leaves the body
The blood taints with purpose
The purity is taken
By blood's essence

The tears shed
Leaves marks for a while
And all that is left is salt
Something inside us all

The tears of weakness
Glisten in the sun
As they stream down
Almost as if meaningless
When they disappear
From the sun's glare

Life is like tears
That glisten and then die
Life is like blood
That has purpose and taints
Whatever it touches for the rest of time

We have the essence of life inside
We glisten and then die
With purpose we taint with a touch
That will never fade
Through the ages

Even when we die
We are left behind
To serve as a reminder
You will always have life
Even with nothing inside [comments] => 6 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

I agree with Brandy very sad but written well.
Hang in there Ur a good writer and that is something to hold onto as it gets me on down the road and fills countless hours that would otherwise be boring and very sad.
Leave the past behind and live now.
luv, huggs, faith, hope, peace,
emy

I see so much in you. Talent, a gift for expression, really deep emotion, sadness, lonliness, insecurities. You are full of things inside and you express it thru your pen.

Never ever give up. Just keep on wriitng.
