Hemorrhage Of Memories

It bled, vein ruptured,
a detached vessel
Slowly at first,
A door slightly ajar.
A room not to be entered again.
Filling up with light,
From high slender windows.
Only a glimpse,
As it continued to bleed,
This old war wound
Gushing, pulsating with
Every heartbeat
Replacing light with shadows
On a crescent moon night
Door slammed shut by
The wind of reason.
Tourniquet made of longing and regret
Wrapped around to stop the flow,
Left pale and lifeless
To mirror a refection
Of what might have been
