Bloody Reflection

Bloody Reflection

Looking into a broken mirror in a dimly lit room
The light annoyingly flickers on and off repeatedly
A buzzing or humming noise echoes from wall to wall
The scent of blood that stains the sink is fresh in the air

Time stands still as drops of water tap the sink one by one
Slowly the water streams red as it mixes in with blood
Shards of glass lay scattered across the grotesque floor
A bathroom in a broken down home kept dirty and tainted

Pipes can be seen through the gaping holes in the ceiling
The wallpaper is torn and pieces are crumbled on the floor
Ripped curtains at the window and one hiding the rusted tub
In the corner stands an unsanitary toilet cracked and stained

In the broken mirror stare blurry eyes filled with tears
Bloody fingers grip a single piece of glass a little too tight
The next arm is sleeveless and a bare wrist waits patiently
A straight line of blood is carved as skin is torn from glass

Over and over again lines begin to cover the skin with red
Flesh and nerves are torn violently by biting jagged edges
Pools of blood collected in the sink mix with falling tears
One last cut, one last tear, one last breath and all is dark

    You may know I don't like this subject...too overused for me. Out of the two I prefered your other one. Maybe go for a more "newer" subject next time.
    Having said that, the flow was good in this and your wording was quite "good" (interesting/creative).
    Thanks for sharing.

    DARIENNNNN. This is amazing really. So.. chilling, dark. creepy haha. I loved the title of this. Seriously. It really stood out. It flowed really well & the descriptions were amazing. AND YES. Great minds deffinitley DO think alike. & I got out of a relationship a long time ago.. okay not really, a month :] Um.

    OH the [bracketededed words] , I use them to bring more meaning into the poem.. more style.. to single words out. Things like that. :]

    Sorry if it confuses you, aha.

    I LOVE THIS THOUGH.

    BUT. one thing:

    One last cut, one last tear, one last breath and all is dark

    ^ I really really love this line.. I think it really sums up the poem. The 'all is dark' I don't think really fit in , though ;[ But I still liked it.

    LOVEYOUDEARY.
