blood drips drips drips into the sink
flows between my fingers
my forehead
throbbing
dripping sweat
hair plastered to my cheeks
and eyelids
then, in a streak of insanity
i settle deep into the floor
and pull the shower curtains off the rod,
over my head
falling deep
into the floor
past the tiles
past the pipes
past the old couple living in the apartment below mine
and they hold each other
and i watch
as he tries to put it in her
he can't.
they're both too squishy
and wrinkly
and tired
(he collapses on top,
rolls off of her
her ****
sagging towards her arms
******* with a diameter of my balled up fists
she sighs at him and gives a yellow toothed smile)
i want to feel something hard
and slippery
against my skin
i want to get ****** up
i'll never forget
that blood stained towel
we placed under my hips
to stop the blood
from staining the bedsheets.
just like the one
balled up under my head
on the bathroom floor
eyes closed
