Blood
November 17, 2014
Watching the blood flow gently out of my wound
Slowly sliding down my arm
I imagine what would happen
With just one more slice of the blade
How much more could my body lose?
How much pain could I take?
How much longer until I'm totally numb?
How much more of this will I suffer?
Another swift swipe of the blade
Another torn part of my body
The air fills with the scent of iron
It almost seems beautiful
Except that it's so f---ing ugly.
I just want it to be over.

A lot of emotion was put into this... Tears rolled down my reddened cheeks while I wrote.
