Throw Baby Out With the Bathwater

lying in the pool of
water
blood.
a body thats been decaying
far before its demise
razor blades
and words that cut just as deep
standing against ivory paper
see the world through my eyes
this bathwater
so far from clean
its spoiled now
one last stand
you ruined me
throw baby out with the bathwater.
