If you see me bleed, <br />Without coming to my comfort to aid. <br />Will you bare the wound, <br />Upon the nakedness of your consciousness... <br />Yet to come. <br />Will you do what the others have done? <br />Run? <br /> <br />Or will the unhealing scars inflict, <br />Upon your mind and sit? <br />To stitch together cries in silence. <br />Tormenting a sleeplessness. <br />Weaving to knit with relentlessness. <br />When you close your eyes, <br />Anytime... <br />Your thoughts of me, <br />Are not expected to arrive. <br />Or leave to complete this pattern.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
