Cut the flow

I sit in the dark.

surrounded, warm water

comforts,

eventually even this turns. 

Biting. 

exposed flesh turns raw,

I cut the flow

Succumb to the cold

pain protect me

shelter me

I can't see.

Water once rinsed 

 clean

almost pure

free from emotion

anything could be forced to drain,

But I cut the 

flow. 

exposed myself

sacrificed inside 

to save flesh,

I like the feeling in this piece. I have written about the solace of my bathtub but this is something else entirely. I like the contract you have within using "clean, pure, biting, pain" Very well put together
