Collection of AbuseA Poem by K. BridgidApproaching their home She opens the drawer Her collection of abuse Feeling them in her hand She opens her fist They are as white as snow One by one they slide down her throat She anxiously awaits the high For it is the most relaxing panic Once they gain control Her body falls to the floor She cannot move Her breathing slows Heartbeat falls Emotions vanish Once she musters the strength She crawls back to her collection of abuse Her fingers touch a pointed edge She pulls it from the drawer Grasps it in her hand And stares at all its sharp perimeters She watches it carve lines in her skin Blood trickling down her arm The occasional droplet falling to the white carpet Then the perpetrator is put back to sleep The cap to the toxins is sealed The collection of abuse is tucked away She throws her body onto her bed In the morning she will wash the blood stained sheets So at night she can do it all again © 2015 K.
