would you catch me
if i were to trip
and fall
over my bleeding heart
i negected to see
bleeding on the ground
before me?
my gaze
too focused, too directed
on the slowly fading image
of your beauty,
and our love,
i fall to the ground
as your image
completely disappears.
i lie there alone
numb
praying for my heart
to stop beating,
loving,
bleeding.
stop.
