Yesterday I Bled

Yesterday I bled
For the third time this week
Because I can’t face it now
I’ll let love grow cold
Just for a painful while.
And the tears I suspected you shed
Should probably now be dry.
Time is inconvenient
When there’s pain between us
But we’re at a loss
And leaving it
Though perhaps easier
Breeds bitterness into the wound.
The agony of the mundane
When this burden is expanding
Weighing heavy.
But we’re still pretending
Ridiculous in our both comprehending
The real cost of letting things be
Of letting love drip through the new holes
We created out of heart- hurt.
I’ll start then
Again
I’ll expose what we both already know
Fear climbed in an open window
And we were too frozen to make it go.

Thoughtful about letting love
Thoughtful about letting love drip through the new holes We created out of heart- hurt. about bitterness breeding in the apathy or inaction, silence.
