bleeding out

bleeding out to literal death
never got to breathe a breath
couldn’t live without my flesh
now nothing but emptiness
spread me open, drugged and numb
dug inside, tear out what’s done
vacuum screamed, metal bites
something rips, i lost my sight
heartbeat gone before it spoke
a memory that never woke.
ghosts of veins that never filled,
a pulse denied, a fate distilled.
bleeding out to literal death
never got to breathe a breath
couldn’t live without my flesh
now nothing but emptiness
cold sheets stick, the blood won’t stop
cramps cut deep, i feel myself rot
chunks of red go down the drain
swear to death, i hear my name
fingers shake on porcelain white
drained and drowning, losing light
eyes go blank, a body still—
something lost in time that has to heal
