Bleeding for Life

In shadows I wander, the whispers are loud,

A heart full of sorrow, lost in the crowd.

Memories haunting, they won’t let me be,

A portrait of heartache, that’s all I can see.

Once in the sunlight, we danced through the days,

A spark in my heartbeat, a tunnel of rays.

But as the night fell, her warmth slipped away,

Left me in darkness, with nothing to say.

I carved out my longing, etched deep on my skin,

Searching for answers, where do I begin?

I bleed for the memories, for love that’s decayed,

I’m lost in this game, with the price that I’ve paid.

I bleed to know I'm alive,

In a world where I survive.

Love turned to scars, a bittersweet symphony,

I crave the pain, but I don’t want the agony.

I bleed to know I'm alive,

But your ghost's the one that contrives.

Oh, the nights stretch forever like whispers of doom,

I dance with my shadows in this lonesome room.

Each cut’s a reminder of a love I lost,

The thrill of the pain comes with an untold cost.

I watch the stars fading, they don’t shine for me,

Lost in the echoes of what used to be.

A lover’s devotion now wrapped in despair,

Each breath is a struggle, but who really cares?

I carved out my longing, the scars tell my tale,

In a tempest of feelings, I’m destined to fail.

The heartaches collect like leaves in the fall,

Pouring out stories, with no one to call.

I bleed to know I'm alive,

In a world where I survive.

Love turned to scars, a bittersweet symphony,

I crave the pain, but I don’t want the agony.

I bleed to know I'm alive,

But your ghost's the one that contrives.

So here in the silence, with echoes of you,

I’ll wear my heart's damage like armor, it’s true.

I bleed to feel the pulse of the life I once knew,

But the loneliness lingers, in all that I do.
