Blood…by Meg Eden

Posted on October 13, 2008 by admin

I cut myself today
Just to see if I could feel pain.
To see if I was living still
Instead of numb…walking dead.
Can I still see what’s real?
My vision fades away…
And all I can see is blood.

I look at myself.
Try to understand
What it would be like
To see nails through these hands.
I wonder what it would be like
To face Hell all alone.
I hear it’s worse than this earth…
Worse than this numbing conquering pain.

To die seems best-
But then what I heard…
Did someone die for me?
So I don’t have to see Hell?
I doubted it…
But still that hope-
Still the hope to feel something again.

Blood dropped to the floor-
A ruby from my wrist.
It didn’t have to happen…
I heard behind me
I did that for you-
But then he was gone.

It fell through my hands-
I wanted a second chance
Maybe then…maybe then…
I could leave this empire of dirt.
Maybe I could feel more
Than the blood over my wrist.

For God so loved the world‚ that he gave his only
begotten Son‚ that whoever believes in him‚ will not perish‚ but have everlasting life. John 3:16
