Let The Blood Rush Out Poem by Atty Davis

Midday I lay
Here in the dark
Fever rages
Extinguish no
Will not cool down

Try to run
Try to hide
Can not as the danger
Steeps deep inside

Finally clear
What must be done
Extreme but less than
The damage already done......

So open up my heart
Let the blood rush out
Spill out what's left of you
So I can start anew

Rewire all my cells
So they'll forget your touch
Send the ether of your scent
Out of my burning lungs

Let my eyes stop seeking
And be blind to your face
My lips to stop wanting
Just one more sweet and salty taste

Keep my hands from trying
To hold you in my arms
My body from aching
Each time I hear your name

Wash my brain from thinking
Your song is the only one
My spine from breaking
Under the absense of your lust

Let not one hair upon my head
Know the pleasure nor the pain
Of the pulling on my heart
And the pushing of the same

And when it's done
All blood run out
Finally cured
My soul will rise
Free of the fire
That burns in vain for you
