Mom's tv program runs in the room next to me
I can hear her footsteps as she walks around gathering various items
My sister is doing her hair in the room behind me
I can hear her as she sprays her hair then straightens then sprays
My dog is at my feet putting his paws on my legs
I can hear his begging and pleading to put the knife away
I hear it all but it's pushed back in my brain
As I see the flashes of what he's done, take over my sight
The stain on the floor
The stains that scar my bed
And tears run down my cheeks to splash at my feet
Each one causes another ripple in the puddle of pain
Until the drops turn red
And slowly the realization that my tears have stopped
And the blood has started, angers me further
Until the drops of crimson become a steady stream of life
And the ripples turn to waves
In the ocean I'm pouring onto my feet
The noises of reality just escape me
As I allow and force my life to escape my body and splash on the floor
The open wounds produce no pain
Only the memories that flash in front of my eyes
A horror movie I'm reliving once again
And the stream becomes a river
Dizzy and disoriented, the blade holds itself burried deep in my arm
Bending forward to catch what I can of breath
My relfection stares at me from the ocean of life at my feet
My reflection, so torn and dismembered, decapitated, disembodied
The pain in the eyes of the reflection
And my last ripple comes from a single salty tear
Falling forth to land in the painful sea
It covers my face in horror and disbelief
Leaking from the wounds on my body and my heart
I hear the noises of reality rush back with booming force
I inhale with no questions asked, to breathe again
And drown in my life
