The Dripping of the Leaky Faucet

The dripping of the leaky faucet
Steady rhythm
Consistent beat
Into a white china sink

The dripping of the leaky faucet
Rings in my ears
As I lay on the floor
Staring at the ceiling

The dripping of the leaky faucet
Calms my mind
From the wrathful sufferings
Giving me a peace

The dripping of the leaky faucet
Is constant
The one constant thing
In the midst of the chaos in my head

The dripping of the leaky faucet
Reminds me of what I did
Why I am lying on the floor
Staring at the ceiling

The dripping of the leaky faucet
Steadily cleansing
The blade
Which made a mess of blood

The dripping of the leaky faucet
Steady rhythm
Consistent beat
Into a white china sink
