bleeds.

you give and you give til your soul bleeds
ink instead of blood
til your eyes cry salt
instead of tears
til the stinging becomes
a welcome pain

your hands reach for a love
that was never within your grasp
for a hype that never had any hope
the light turns into darkness
and the only solace you find
is in between the blue lines

if writing away the hurt could make
it disappear into thin air
then i’ve written my weight in gold
and shouldn’t even care

but a heart that loves, lives
and a person with faith, gives
and even though it hasn’t come full circle
just yet
i’ll give until my soul bleeds
ink instead of blood
but not to you
not for you
