Blood, His Saviour

Crimson stained tiles

Splatter marks of arterial spurts.

Emptied veins and a corpse decorate the scene

Paper notes and razor blades.


Body in the bathtub

Soaked in blood and tears.

He is as beautiful in death

As he was in life.


Slit wrists,

Slit throat,

Razor still embedded.

Empty eyes gazing at the door wistfully.


He wanted to be saved,

Not from death

Not from himself

But from life.


He wasn't scared,

Or disturbed.

He was simply sad.

Because everyone else is still living

Suffering.
