The bleeding is only part of it

it starts slow
the feelings
they are all there
hiden beneath the skin
trying to find a way out
an escape

trapped inside
the soul
the torture continues

there must be a way out

relief
from what lies trapped
inside the body
it’s physical
not of the mind

the body goes numb
as it starts
the tears
unnoticed

focus

focus on the blood
as it oozes out
the agony seeps
through the wounds that open up

little at a time
drip
by
drip
it drifts away

the light begins to
shine
