The old bleeding words

On your perspective.

Don't let those old words die

Those bleeding ones which once filled my empty soul

I still remember that once they healed my tears with their blood

And cried to calm my silence

Have mercy on these tears

Which are now bleeding to shield those few old words...

Author's Note

That's a poem which I wrote without any intention or idea. A poem based on the reader's perspective.

Words. They hold great value. I liked the poem and I wanted to know more. Hemingway once said. A great writer bleed to his poetry and story. Thank you Shasha for sharing your worthwhile and good thoughts.

Actually I just wrote it, even I didn't know the exact meaning, just the emotions and a perspective.
Thank you again, for your kind words!

Here's the message that comes to me thru your words here . . . at different times in life we have those huge fights with harsh words said & these words never fade, even years after the situation might've ended between the two people. At different times in life, later on, I need to remember those old bleeding words, so I don't make the same mistakes over & over. Nice way to leave it open-ended, so the reader can find one's own meaning (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Haunting imagery using words as a construct... Nothing more transparent than blood-shields... Amazingly penned...
