And I Bleed...

I saw you looking at me
the other night.
I felt what I saw there,
and I bleed.

You pulled your hand
away from mine yesterday.
I look down at mine now,
and I bleed.

You kissed me when
you left in the morning.
It was cold and empty,
and I bleed.

I wanted to hold you
in my arms last night.
You weren't "in the mood,"
and I bleed.

You touch my chest,
late at night.
To see if I'm breathing,
and I bleed.

One night, you touched
my hair so softly.
Like you love me,
and I bleed.

You still let me touch
you late at night.
Still love you deeply,
and I bleed.

Now you say you're
going to let me go.
Just because you have to,
and I bleed.

Don't leave me, Baby,
I love you so much.
I made you hate me,
and I bleed.

What will I do without you,
when you've gone?
Just what I do now,
just bleed.
