Bath of Blood

I sit here shaking in this warm water The pain has come, for my life to barter. Should i do it, let everything go. I grab that razor and never let go. I tilt my head back and take a breath I soon feel the pain inside my chest. My heart is pounding faster and faster. I think in my head now I\'m the master. Cutting and cutting away that pain as the blood drips down, my life slowly fades. I drop the blade, and watch it fade, into the Bath of blood that i have made. Everythings gone, my life to. into that red liquid, that makes me and you. i am now free of all that pain, and all the suffering that never went away. So now i lay here in my Bath of blood, looking down in at the soapy suds. Was it a dream or was it a fantasy. I look at my wrists....and they still bleed.
