bleed

i was not trying

to cut the roots

(bleed sap-blood)

maybe

paper thin leaves

beneath

paper thin skin

would want to see

the sun

maybe

it would help

to let some light

into the darkness.

maybe

i would try to

feel again

but this tree

does not need

sunlight,

not like i do.

it turns it's boughs

towards to blackness.

it is so tempting

to let you live on

in my body

but i must let you go

(not grow)
