tears and blood

my tears are like a river flowing to the ocean. washing over me in waves. it tried so hard to cleanse me of my sorrows but to no avail. I have to many to wash away in the stream. my eyes close as I lay back and stop trying to fight to hide my pain away. the more I fight the faster I sink into the dark waters. giving in I let it carry me away. for a brief moment I feel calm and at peace but that feeling to fades as a sharp new pain pierces through the calm.
my tears turn to blood as the waters turn crimson. cold to warmth. I'm no longer floating I've landed on a hard tile floor. the cream tile stained with my blood as the blade slices through my skin like a hot knife through butter. a hiss escapes my lips as the light fades from view.
