At The Moment. (January 2011)

Drip, drop, drip

Spills the blood

Sip, sob, slit

Silly you, for thinking all was

Dandy with skies of blue.

Don’t ever let it happen again.

My eyes are a gorgeous shade of green,

Thanks to the redness that swells behind them

Kind of close to the redness I hold somewhere else

Would that burn be quickly erased?

Without a trace? Probably not.

I lay here and shake

And shake, and shake, and shake.

Until everything I have that’s good, is gone.

Hungry, with no effort to move my mouth

Tired, with no desire to sleep

Cold, with not wanting any kind of comfort

Choke, cough, cry

I can’t even breathe right

Don’t know how to calm down

Ring, click, spit

I wish I could forget it

Itch, sniff, shiver

Lip quivers.

Goodbye.
