The Want To Bleed Is The Want Of You

In the dark I sat cross-legged on my bed
Painful thoughts congesting my head.
~
The want to bleed
Is the want of you.
~
Tied together -- but are chance and consequence
My daily protocol has lost all common sense.
~
The want to bleed
Is the want of you.
~
Passion to despair
Fakes smiles as you're standing there.
~
The want to bleed
Is the want of you.
~
Like today's facade? Do you want me now?
I'll act just for you and take my bow.
~
The want to bleed
Is the want of you.
~
Dripping life, rotting dreams
Scribbled words in a thousand reams.
~
The want to bleed
Is the want of you.
~
Let's play make believe -- you say 'I love you'
I pretend, you pretend -- I chose to believe the untrue.

    Wow...definately been here before--something really discouraging happened to my dignity, so I'm curing it by reading--and writing--poetry! yay! lol, I liked this a lot. It flows really well, and I felt like I could relate.
