Bath tub

"The cold bath tub
clinging around my arm
water boiling around me
failing to cause me any harm

My breathing is calm
another failed attempt to lie
colourful bubbles in the air
another wasteful try

Footsteps walking
past the door
I heard them talking
about me before

A fierce sudden sound
as my ring falls to the floor
I'm barely awake, barely asleep
but nor do I care any more

Water dripping from the tap
lying motionless without fear
in blood soaked water
blood everywhere

Couldn't reject the feeling
of success
but how I wonder
how I got myself into this mess

One last act, another one
eyes hurting in the sharp lights
I whisper silently
no more painful nights"
