what a little blood can do

bled to the point that your veins feel thin, they ache, they churn, they still seep
there has been a loss or a gain, you are not sure which
should you laugh madly or scream silently?
until you pass out
but you can't do either, any
no dear nothing, you are dry
you are too aware, too close to
and too many things too far from
there is a nothing that devours what is left of you
there is a nothing that still seeps scentless from you
you would be better off dead but this you are not
you would be better off without and so you are
you are dry, but you are, you are, you are, you are
see/say it again so this time you will believe it
then forget it again so this time you won't see it
