a lifetime ago,
i was drowning
in my own
blood,

trying to understand
the impossible,
swallowing my tears
and crying my saliva.

my wrists would
bleed until i wouldn't feel
and all i wanted was to
scream until dying.

my anger would
keep me from falling
and my fears would
keep me from sleeping

i tried to vanish
once or twice
for in return,
my memories.
