Loose me

"Please" It was a cry of desperation at best, the voice no longer carried its former weight,

It didn't bring the feeling of elation anymore.

They were lost; lost to the depths of my mind.

A half formed thought as best.

I had a fleeting sense that they had once loved me

But what do I know?

So I dug harder

They shrieked

Drip.

Drip.

Drip.

It pattered the floor in sickening droplets

The life ebbed from me as I went further.

They shook.

They begged for me to stop

That things could go back to the way they were.

I knew they couldn't.

They screamed at me, in an unfamiliar, voice to stop, because what I was doing wasn't safe

My vision went spotty

I let it.


I dropped the blade

And they screamed

A voice I've never known.
