This Poem Came to Me in a Dream
Exsanguination
While waiting for you
I've paced in circles
I've lost my feet
Balancing on the bloody stumps
Feeling the blood drain from me.
Along with my feet, I wore through the hope
Stamping bloody circles in a bloody circle.
I shall continue to pace
Until I can walk no more.
While my legs waste away.
And legless I'll pace in my mind
Until my exsanguination is complete.
Waiting.
While waiting for you
I've paced in circles
I've lost my feet
Balancing on the bloody stumps
Feeling the blood drain from me.
Along with my feet, I wore through the hope
Stamping bloody circles in a bloody circle.
I shall continue to pace
Until I can walk no more.
While my legs waste away.
And legless I'll pace in my mind
Until my exsanguination is complete.
Waiting.
