rib cage pitter patter

dull dull

so very dull

thumping

thumping

blood in

blood out

bleeding

thump

thump

slowly in

slowly out

dull

dull

dull

dull

so quiet

silently

thumping away

dull, dull thumping

I can't stand it

just beating

thumping

beat

beat

blood in

blood out

in

out

in

out

going slower now

in

out

in

out

flowing out

out of the heart

out of the body

onto the floor

the blood is flowing

like a river

or a stream

just flowing

bleeding

blood is like water

just a bit thicker

and I'll bleed

until the very end

when my heart stops beating,

all the blood will be gone

I am stained red

but at least

I won't bleed again.

I am haunted by this piece, and don't quite know what to say about how it makes me feel...
"but at least
I won't bleed again"
A fitting end to the dull, dull, dull, dull.
