alabaster

bathtub full of cold water
laying naked in the dark
sliding under the water
sinking down lower
stains on my skin
bruises my lungs
burns my eyes
i wanna feel something
give me emotion
numb to the world
i let myself float
in a comatose daze
chilling pain on my skin
no breath no sound
ringing silence in my ears
bloodred ink on porcelain lips

Author notes

dedicated to my aunt lind rest in peace

Please tell me what you think

    This was chilling. The detail was so intense and made it so realistic... not leaving much to the imagination... and the emotions expressed had so much impact. Well done love... this was beautiful... and of course so sad.

    Beautiful, but in that sad sort of way that makes you reverent in the realization of the gravity of the situation this was written about. I love how this was done.
