quit bleeding out in the bathroom sink, it's getting old
October 8, 2012
bath salts. white tea and jasmine.
skin soft to the taste.
steam rises, you learned that in science class.
simmer down, i am no saint.
nor will i die as one.
inhibitions went down the drain.
she was the mastermind of self-mutilation.
conditioner bottle tipped over the edge.
funny that it's
bright scarlet.
hands feel light tracing
an hour glass girl.
fragile. curve of her hips,
veins blue. jasmine even.
crimson
rivulet.
drip drip drip drop.
and just like that,
she is gone.
