Bathtub Bruises Poem by Dakota Ellerton

I am lonely.
From my head to my toes,
I am numb.
I haven’t the strength to move,
hardly the will to breathe.
I’ve slipped into,
another state.
My heart is racing,
I am tired.
But haven’t moved.
What life have I been pretending to live?
So many.
My skin is turning a sharp icey blue.
I can’t hardly keep my eyes open now.
I think my legs are shaking.
No, I can see them shaking.
My nose is dripping,
a most beautiful ruby red.
Whats the last thing going to be,
I set my eyes upon?
Surely not this bathtub.
Will the last sensation I feel,
be the blood dripping from my body?
The cold draft chilling my flesh?
I hope not.
I couldn’t bare a thought,
especially whilest like this.
I can’t breathe,
I can’t speak.
What do I do
Suddenly
Everything’s gone black.
