The Blood Bath
Sitting alone
On my bed
As the sun shone
Through the window
I cut to the bone
With a small razor
My skin tone
Became nonexistent
A loud moan
Of pure pain
Flinch; my blood flown
Across the room
Rain. Bloody rain.
I jumped to clean
The puddles forming
There wasn't even that much
But it seemed to be growing
The blood multiplying
I look down
What were small slits
Painted my leg red
The walls were closing
The blood wouldn't stop
My room now a closet
Was filling with blood
A pool of ruby red
So much, I put pressure
On it but the blood
Didn't just leak
It was a fire hose
The pressure bruised me
My leg went numb
As I began to float
I don't know how
This is possible
But isn't it what
I wanted
Other poison drained?
Or was it something else.
Did I want the scars to
Distract people from
The true pain behind them
What was suppose to help me
Became too much
Too addicting
I taste iron
The metallic taste
My blood is-
I cough it out
I am drowning
By the blood that
I
Released?
I can't float anymore
A mouth full
And I begin to sink
My eyes roll back
My thoughts fade
I wanted this . . .
I scream myself awake
I choke on nothing
Lying in a pool of sweat
I cough on the tears
And the memories
They seem so real
So unbelievably real
I move towards the spot
Where my blade hides
I hold it between my fingers
Hovering above the trash
I take a seat back on my bed
I pull my loose left pant leg up
And I slice with a shaky hand
Trying to figure out if the dream
Was
A threat
Or
A
Promise
On my bed
As the sun shone
Through the window
I cut to the bone
With a small razor
My skin tone
Became nonexistent
A loud moan
Of pure pain
Flinch; my blood flown
Across the room
Rain. Bloody rain.

There wasn't even that much
