  I Suddenly Had The Urge To Write.
  -
  Not A True Experience, But My Imagination Suddenly Took Flight
  So Please Enjoy And Critiques Are Appreciated!
  PLEASE.
  No Silly Comments.
  -
  I Realize There Is No Appropriate Punctuation And Such EXCEPT For The Actual Spoken Words (In Italics).
  This Is Purposeful For Expression.

it makes my ears ring
you outburst
your boiling screams

a fetish for your own body
a fetish you dread to have
scraping and skinning away the evidence

a phobia
but knowing you can't escape
you just keep tearing

you tell me I have to stay
"I want you to see.
You have to WATCH."

and you pierce away
mezmorized
eyes following each drop

they slide down your arm

TAP...
...
TAP...
...

accumulating a puddle
seeping a little into the ridges of the floor

you watch ripples form
around the landing point
"It's like water, but just a little thicker."

TAP...
...
TAP...
...
TAP...

knees collapsing from under me
snaps up your gaze
your eyes are scared now

"You can't be like me. This isn't you.
You can't follow. Stay here.
It's safe here."

and you smile

i'd beg you to stop but
"We've been through that," is all you'd say
"Besides, I'll be too tired to finish soon enough."

so i wait
