Marinated in pain
Iā€™m covered in it
I sway to one side
And it streams down my chest
Catching in the nook of my breast
The liquid spreads
My body becoming a riverbed
I can barely glimpse
The underbelly of my wrist
The source
The swell
Where anguish has pooled
It took only two bandages
To have them fooled

Emptiness envelops me
My body is drained
Only the dripping of my wrist
Keeps me awake
When will it end
When will your haunting cease
Inside, there's nothing left
Nothing but my second skin
The pain i've been marinated in
