Dead in the bathtub of my youth
By VagrantGypsy
As I lounged in the murky water of my bathtub, Sliding my body beneath the surface of the water, I thought about all of which I've failed to be and Everything I didn't accomplish. I let my nose slip beneath the surface, Immersed until i could no longer breathe,and then Letting it linger a moment more. I saw beautiful visions of blood swirling around two slit wrists and Myself dead in this bathtub of my youth. My body lying cold,pale, and naked to everyone. It seems so right,a tragic end to a tragic being. So I'll submerge my head until I chike and inhale water into my lungs,forcing instinct to over power will. The steam from the water was burning and flushed my face like a newborn child's, Yet I felt so bitter and faded. These thoughts are too much for tonight so I step out dripping wet, hair matted to my face,onto the cold tilefloor and dry off. Written October 25th, 2001 © on Oct 27 2001 03:33 AM PST 18 • 0 • 1
