and sometimes you bleed

And sometimes, you bleed just to know you are alive.
i am puking, i am crying, i am bleeding,
until i am left with no strength
it is not just the pain, it is also the fear that it may take away my dreams, bleed them away forever...
i curl up to a ball as if this would help me stop my insides from tearing apart
you look at me concerned, while i look at you through the excruciating pain, knowing you cannot bear half the pain that i am going through
my insides turn, they ache and scream,
my heart pounds everywhere, louder than ever
As you hold me tight, i know i am not ready to die...no, not... just... yet
perhaps, the dreams will take wings again.

Loved the first line...
sometimes, you bleed just to know you are alive....
Just like sometimes you get hurt just to know you can feel....

I like the way you've compared bleed to life and living. Very nice.
and yes,
you can dream your dreams and make them come alive.
you can dream up the wings you need to fly.
they are yours forevermore.
then dream again to set flight your dreams galore.
And soar all the way up so high.

Cheers!

They will. And the pain will then only be a distant memory.

Hope you're okay.
