Bleeding into the blank sky Dissolving yesterdays stars Whatever is left is vacant Heart has said farewell Nothing left to bleed with Veins and arteries on empty No oxygen, love finally dies Together with all the lies Hell sounds the bells bong Severed is the souls song

"hell sounds the bells bong!... what a crackingly good line for a truly well composed piece... very well done Eileen...Mark xx
Only true poetic magic could transform such a sense of utter despair as expressed in BLEEDING into a small soft nova of alluring intensity. The triumph here, for this reader, is in the beauty that surfaces out of the ashes of a love that supposedly has died. A classic write.
ditto Janet's comments below. know this feeling and don't like it. makes me wish for a rainstorm of bandaids and the gentlest of hugs. prayers for you, Dawn
Chilling, so stark in imagery and verse...very effective writing, Eileen. Original, as well...the relation of soul to sky and stars touches on the premise of love's wonders...
"Bleeding into the blank sky/Dissolving yesterday's stars". This is a powerfully painful and plaintive line. Those same stars that shone so brightly with hope and new love now are now dulled by heartache and betrayal. Oh can I feel this write to my soul. Hope this is not personal. If so, we bleed with you Eileen. A prayer for healing and a new song...Lin
Sometimes you just have to wait until it is truly dead to bury it and move on. It hits us like a lightning bolt out of nowhere and makes us wonder why it took us so long to see the reality of the situation.
Take care,

I hope you are alright...:)
Nobody is ever worth that amount of pain !
And if he is a habitual liar, you are better off without him...;)

So dark, so heavy, almost deeply depressing. Now we have to find another more happier one from you. We hope it does not reflect the way you feel, just in case, we do it like Karla, keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Birgit and Roger
Dear Eileen
"...No oxygen,love finally dies
Together with all the lies.."
No worthy air, and lies, are certainly the ingredients to allow love to die. Thankfully, 'true' love doesn't die, but is reborn continually!
Let us find this true love post haste! Powerful write!
