Her Pen Bleeds

Her pen bleeds with emotions she

tries to keep locked inside
Sometimes she fears people wouldn't understand if
she lent her voice to the expression of these pent up feelings
Yet she has a poet's heart

Her pen bleeds with hope as fragile as
priceless crystal which
could shatter at any moment
like the heart keeping her alive
Although it is this hope that is the one thing propelling
her toward her dreams

Her pen bleeds with love
Love she prays she'll one day share
with someone who will love her just as
much as she loves them

Right now though her pen will keep
bleeding until the ink runs out
She hopes this doesn't happen for years
After all it was God
that gave this poet her gift
