Aftermath

Four final words:
“You are not enough”

I am swallowing razor blades-
cutting out my own tongue;
destroying the evidence

Try to feel regret
 
One more exasperated sigh
One last trip to the ER

I am mopping up the puddles of
My own blood
Erase me

Try to feel regret

One last fake cry
One last lie hidden behind a devious smile
One last desperate ‘I love you’
attempting to conceal an abundance of
black and blue adorning virgin flesh like
rare jewelry

Stained skin; pain absorbed

Try to feel regret

One last passive aggressive fuck
One more defiant attempt to self destruct  
One last breath let out with a quiver
One last time down on two
scraped and bloody knees

One last time

Swallowing razor blades

Author's Note
i wrote this poem just recently after having a very lengthy battle with writers block. abusive relationships are far too common so i am sure this will resonate with some people out there. hope it helps a little bit to know you are never alone.
