Summary: just a poem I felt like writing. rated for angst.

A/N: um, yah. well, so far so BAD today. last night my nana and I were
almost in a car wreck and she would have died since the car that almost hit
us would have hit on her side.. also, in the house we're staying at, none
of my stuff is there b/c my family's between homes now so papa moved
EVERYTHING of mine (except my toothbrush & toothpaste) to the other house
so I couldn't brush my hair or eat (since the food's gone too) and I
couldn't do anything really. I had an extra outfit for school though.
that's it. anyways, enough of my rantings and ON WITH THE SHOW!

"Bleeding Heart", a poem by the Footloose Chichibean (formerly just
chichibean)

Can you see through my eyes?

To this bleeding heart of mine?

Why must you go to her?

Do you know how much that hurts?

Your golden stare pierces through me.

Down to my heart, can you see?

Am I nothing to you?

Nothing to see or view?

Nothing to hear?

Nothing to fear?

Nothing to hold?

Or something foretold?

Am I just the reincarnation, as said to be,

Of that priestess you love more than me?

Or am I just a shard detector?

So you can complete the jewel and be with her there?

Why can't you see?

How painful you are to me.

Your golden stare pierces through to my soul,

Yet you see nothing, nothing so whole.

Do you see my heart?

Do you see the hurt?

That you caused so maliciously,

So you can be with her eternally?

Can you see through to my mind?

Or to this bleeding heart of mine?

Can you even imagine,

My love worn thin,

And my soul within,

How it cries to begin?

To begin this path,

To be done with your wrath.

To be finished,

This love diminished?

I ask you now,

Can you keep your vow?

To protect her always?

And never go astray?

Can you see now into my soul?

Can you see the hole?

This hole you've created

From your love berated?

Can you see past your own blind eyes,

To this bleeding heart of mine?

Can you see the hurt?

That you have brought?

Answer my simple question

And I will take your impression

And I will do what you ask, without regret

And let you live, without offset.

Just tell me now,

Can you vow,

To live your life

With all the strife

You have caused yourself?

And can you see myself?

Through my eyes,

To this bleeding heart of mine?

A/N: um, yah, well, that took a while and now I gotta go since I have
biology in 15 min!!! Ja ne!
