Crimson Rivers

I watch as the crimson flows out of me

Coating everything in its path

It takes a slow path down my arm

Eventually trickling off my fingertips

I watch as the droplets hit the carpet

Splattering, staining

I stare transfixed

Not moving

Suddenly the river stops flowing

So I make another opening

And another

And another

And another

I've made too many

The rivers not flowing calmly anymore

It s rushing

Gushing through me

It hurts

It hurts a lot

All of a sudden

It doesn't hurt at all

I can't feel anything

Even as I hit the carpet below

I can't feel the river flowing around me

I only have one feeling

Death

I close my eyes as they have started to hurt

Only to see red rivers flowing everywhere

I lie transfixed

Forever
