Very powerful write. Please though, spare the sword. Bleeding is not the only way to cure the pain.

That's a sad one - finding yourself lost alone after the storm is gone.
But that's life, right??
Good write.

"The storm’s a coming…
And the need to bleed
Is strong within me,
The rain shall wash me clean,
Though it will not forgive my sins…
There is not enough blood in me,
To bleed them away
And let me be free
Of that tainted blood
That dwells so deep within…

I shall raise me up to the stone,
And searching in the sky,
Find the blazing sword I seek,
And sink it deep
Within my heart,
And flay my soul alive
With the pain I seek,
And die,
Amid the wild storm,
In this black night,
End my fight with the past,
Find peace at last…
As I lay bleeding
On that heartless stone,
I find myself as I have always been,
Alone… "
Retta, you speak so well of my soul...excellent write...stay strong...
In Spirit,
Bear
