Suicide

The air is thick with a misty haze
A calming atmosphere
Warmth
Smelling of freesia and gardenias,
Rhythmic pounding of the water
Thumping into the tub
Rhythmic pounding
Rhythmic pounding
Rhythmic pounding
Into the tub
Onto her back,
Her slick body
She traces her arms with the
Tips of her fingers
So gently
Tenderly
Rhythmic pounding
Touching her soft wrists
Careful to mark the spot
Grasping the deep blue razor
Selected carefully from the
Closet just moments before,
She etches the blade
Into her skin
Rhythmic pounding
Rhythmic pounding
She grits her teeth,
The hot water swishing
Down her back
The blade refusing to part her skin
Harder and harder
She presses
She feels a slight pinch in her skin,
Her fingers turning numb
A small speck of blood beads together
Crimson and bright
Against her pale flesh
A smile curves onto her lips,
Tugging at each corners
Finally, results
Results
Results
She presses her finger
Onto her tiny wound
Wiping the blood away
The blood stretches out across
Her wrist once more
So beautifully expected
Rhythmic pounding
She resumes her shower
With a new found glee,
Her problems trickled
Away.
