Bleed

Drip down upon my page, for these last few

Splatters are the remains, the only pertinent remains

Of what I have become, Nothing but a smear

On an old, wrinkled page, lost forever.


That life drips out of me, staining the blank

Canvas of existence that surrounds me. I, like a

Torch that fades without air, and thus robs the

World of precious light, dissipate to nothing

More substantial than drops on a page.


My sight faces, and all the colour around me

Turns the world black as the wet streak flowing

Down my hands into a puddle on the table.

The more the river flows, the less I see it.


Why do I see a boat across the river?

The ferryman asks if I need to cross.

I look at the blurry black note with black lines on it

And I accept his offer...
