She..

She saw..
She heard...
She felt...

She ran in her room
She slammed the door behind her
She locked the door.

She stood in front of the mirror.
She was looking at me.
She stared.

Tears were then an accident.
No one could see them.

She dragged her feet across the room.
She slowly curled up in a corner.
She looked out the window.

She took a few breathes.
She rocked herself.

"I'm not crazy...."
"I'm not crazy...."
"Please..."
"Help me.."

She covered her neck with her own arms.
She tried suffocating.
She pulled at her hair.
She beat herself.
She punched.
She left marks.
She was screaming on the inside.

Tried to avoid any other thoughts.

The dark sky.
Clear.
Calm.

She closed her eyes.
Breathing.....

She quickly pulled her sleeves up.
She looked up at the ceiling.

She covered her ears.
Still rocking herself.

*Inhale.*

The metal touched her skin.
Quiet.

Still the formation of tears sparked in her eyes.
The fire of a being, dying out.
The blood of her own.

A flood on her lap.
Red.

Her fingers drew smiles on her skin.
She smiled.

She crawled into her bed.
She covered her arm in a towel.

She closed her eyes.

*Exhale.*
