Sobering Melancholy

by jason-drury

*Though, should I or have I begun?* To feel the tussling Of blurring bodies. Transforming and dancing, Through these very halls. Where aching is thick, and a embrace is a release. *Should I begin? How should I begin?* Swallow the dagger, stabbing from behind. Let it sit deep in my stomach. Push it further, where it can’t cut. *Where will it end? How will I begin?* Under lock and key, Just where I left it . It escapes as it did just now, conjuring a puncture to bone. Blood flows, Rushes out into the world. *Is this a release? How can I heal?* Pouring out, It tastes salty on the cheek The color is dark, cold to the touch. Purging the night, that stained blood black. Sifting the chill, of steel from bone. Ringing out whats left of gore and fluid, down the drain. *I can begin now. This is the end.*
