Blood drips onto the floor
The nice tile is stained
The razor clatters on the counter
Shaky knees meet carpet not far away
Vomit joins the crimson
Everything fades
The lights seem to flicker
And then it all goes black
Over time, the corpse slowly starts to decay
I am the only witness to my suicide

Very powerful words, I love the title in particular, and how you follow up on that idea with an unflinching look at the events surrounding violent death. Tough stuff to write about, but this is well written and authentic.

This is actually very good,despite being very short. I could relate to it (on a personal level) due to some of my previous bad habits. Good work
