Blood

"Please let the blood we had stay pure."
Although we part and love no more.

You said, "In you, I'll seek my growth"
In you, I saw a larger hope.

But time stops. Decisions hard.
Blood clots and leaves our bodies scarred.

No pressure or pulse or coursing veins
Where arms embraced, I now feel strains.

These crimson rivers still bring life
Purifies and settles strife.

Time resumes and thoughts unmask
Our blood is pure. My heart's relaxed.

What little sense presented itself
Our memories still frozen on my shelf.

An understanding, now so clear.
Our blood is pure. So, have no fear.

Our blood brought us from childhood
Made bodies strong and pain withstood

It fed our brains with philosophies
Made real our impossibilities

This blood transports with it disease
And ages our bodies without reprieve

Growth gives way to change and death
Time stops no more and stales our breath

But, blood feeds cells that fuel our brain
Memories in time forever remain

If time heals all, blood clots the wounds
Air fills the lungs and laughs resume

So, our blood is pure. Our bodies strong.
Growth fuels new blood and friendship long.

So, our blood is pure. Life starts anew
This friendship will always stay with you.
