Blood drips down your legs, your jaw,
Any part of your body that’s still yours,
What they don’t say about blood loss is it makes everything seem so heavy.
You push yourself off the ground, stumble, try again,
Mouth dry, legs weak, you need help,
But then again you’ve needed help for a while now, haven’t you.
Your phone is just out of reach,
The blot will clot if you just stay here.
