stationary blood

No blood would come,
The needle wouldn't take it,
The nurse told me I was drained out;
Empty on the inside;
A drought in my veins.
She tried the other arm
But the thick, red substance was not in sight.
I sat and waited with a needle in my arm not needing to be told twice;
Empty inside.
