Laying in the night
A sweet honey voice calls
No where near me, in a much farther place
Somewhere inside
Inside my head

Tempting
Taunting
Slick like butter
"Do it."

The hand moves alone
Up and around the bedsheets
Has its own will
It's own master
It's own mission

Gathers what it can and plays the fingers to the throat, choking words, gasps, and tears
Throws it unto paper
It a black paint
No shades of red, blue even if those are her favorite colors

Black
And the deepest of tragedies
Splattered on a thin sheet of white paper
It's seeping from the pen unto skin
Underneath layers
It turns blood cold

Hurriedly, the other hand moves to remove the stain,
Remove the mark
Remove existence

It's too late

Her blood and body
Have been stained.
