Bleeding....

The first lash sprinkled drops of blood over me
hiding it from probing eyes n gruttling back the pain
A cut so deep n dark across my heart

A second lash drenched me all over
invisible to everyone the pain and the cut
A cut so deep n dark across my heart

a third, a fourth, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh, a eighth,
a ninth, a tenth, a dozen lashes..............

Pause

Pain didnt cease but gained and grew
A cut so deep n dark across my heart

spluterring blood grew into a pool
where I downed everything - downed my woes and myself
eventually or is it inevitably?

Eventually for me ; but for the world inevitably
Drowned to death
A cut so deep n dark across my heart
