Weeping is the Wound

Just as the red flows from us,

our life sustaining blood,

tears are love's

version of blood.

Weeping is the wound,

when the tear ducts swell,

that's love's version of blood

beginning to well.

When you bleed,

your body cries,

and when you sob,

love begins to die.

Love is something inside you.

Love is something alive, too.

Love bleeds when it's broken,

Love's voice cracks when words are spoken.

Love is a person,

a person who is not you,

love is a person,

who knows what's true.

This is very powerful, especially the ending "Love is a person, a person who is not you, love is a person, who knows what's true." A very descriptive and unique explanation of that magical mystery known as "love". You can say so much in so few words. Thank you.

I like the way you described the desire and the emotion of love.
"Love is something inside you.
Love is something alive, too.
Love bleeds when it's broken,"
No weakness in the amazing poetry. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

"tears are love's/ version of blood." Aw that's so sad. I liked how that idea was intertwined throughout the whole poem. Nice job.
