I am bleeding music

I am hurt; my mind, a wrecked room.

the way in, an inky vacuum swallowing words.

Words!

Swords of air, cutting through a soul

sharpening themselves on other

Words

Wounds are deep, healing slowly,

draining,

draining.

Words of song,

Colored by passion's triumph.

conduct the healing

melodies in, melodies out.

Along with rough words.

I am bleeding music

like always.
