Drip Drip Drip

Something, who knows!

I scratched an itch today

and made myself bleed

all over the white carpet

in the living room.

 

drip drip drip.

 

Like the leaky faucet in the kitchen

that I never have to turn on

any time I want

to wet a napkin.

 

drip drip drip.

 

Like the rain outside the window

falling steadily down

like a waterfall half dried up

from a bad drought.

 

drip drip drip.

 

Like the tears sliding down my cheeks

because you walked away

scratched me out of your life

until I bled, red on white carpet.

 

drip drip drip.
