Self Inflcted

The drop of blood hit the clear
water exploding, dispersing 
like smoke in air. A second 
drop then a third in the same 
manner, my very being drains
before my eyes. Plink, plonk,
the waters hue now a subtle
shade of pink, deeper with 
every droplet. I now gaze that 
rouge reflection and think to
myself, it's about time I put
a new razor blade in this razor.
