Senses

Taste the saltiness
In each tear
Taste this sadness
So severe

Smell the metallic
Blood that's here
Smell the ever-
Present fear

Hear my thoughts
Hear my dreams
Hear all of my
Silent screams

Feel my hate
Feel my pain
Feel so mad
Feel insane

See my tears
Fall to the floor
See my blood
Watch it pour

Know i'm trying
But know it's hard
Know that forever
I'll always be scarred

Taste the tears
Smell the fears
Screams you hear
Feel the end drawing near
Look in the mirror
And know that it's here

Flowing

Sweat
Flowing down my face
Dripping from my chin
Sweat
Flowing down my arms
Dripping off my fingers
Yet i refuse to change out of my long sleeves
Even in this 30 degree weather
I refuse to even roll up these sleeves
Afraid of revealing my arms
My scars
Those ever-present reminders of my weaknesses and failures

Tears
Flowing from my eyes
Dripping down my nose, off my cheeks
Tears
Flowing
Like a waterfall
The eighth wonder of the world
"kathryn falls"

Blood
Flowing from the cuts
Dripping from my arms
Blood
Flowing
Creating a beautiful, crimson puddle
All ruby red and shiny
So shiny that i can see my reflection in it
i can see my future
my death
my own demise

in this puddle
of all the fluids
flowing
flowing together
to show me where it ends
