"Bleeding Heart"

When a soul is perched upon the edge of life...

And death...

Reflecting upon the moments of life

Only then do you come to know the true meaning of time...

Because barely surviving should not be your main purpose in life

Denial has left you abandon

And by avoiding each moment of every day

Has made you become a ghost within your own life...

Brick by brick

Lie by lie

You build a wall around you

A silence words soon will not be able to break

Truth is like blood underneath your fingernails

Its begging to be set free

Yet your eyes remain starring at the floor

As if your secrets were written upon the carpet

For the all viewing eye to read

Your footsteps have come to the proverbial fork in the road

Choices now haunt your every waking moment...

Left or right?

Surrender or fight?

Or step out into the light...

And live life?
