It's darker than normal,
And constant.
Drip, drip, drip,
Pulsing too quickly.
My heart races for the first time in, too long.
I press the towel against it,
White was a bad choice,
A crimson flower blossoms,
A piece of art.
The gauze wraps once,
Twice,
Three times, it's not enough.
Like a new high score,
This is a high I'll be trying to reach,
Forever.
Go deep or go home,
And I've never felt at home.
