Thoughtful Bleeding

Would you walk around in circles with nowhere to go?

Would you stare down at your feet as you walk so slow

And on this night when you lose your love

Will you ask for advice from far, far up above?

Would you take the soulful advice of a kind old stranger?

If ever, oh if ever he could sense your inner danger

Would you stand up for someone, and give up your seat

If the game meant everything to your opponent, would you rather be beat

But now the light in the hall stands off kilter

Do you remember the first night you ever felt her?

As you lay now, in your bed, do you ever wonder?

Why time passes by so fast when you’re with her

Or why her dark blue eyes wash over your soul like water

Or how she truly looks to you when your blood gets hotter

Can you feel it, can you feel her body up against yours

And when she looks at you, with eyes filled with recourse

Will you grant her every wish and request

Will you promise to love her, hold her, and treat her your best?

Could you ever give in to your want of euthanasia?

Could you ever kill her and feel as if you’d saved her?

I ask you now, as the inflicting pain you’re readying to endure

Did you ever, truly ever really love her?

This is one of my all-time favorites. I wrote it in 2005 [i think] One of my few rhyming poems. Enjoy!
