[hometext] => This is the first part, I was thinking about making it into a story type of thing, like a freeverse/stream of conciousness story...
[bodytext] => The air is thick with a misty haze A calming atmosphere Warmth Smelling of freesia and gardenias, Rhythmic pounding of the water Thumping into the tub Rhythmic pounding Rhythmic pounding Rhythmic pounding Into the tub Onto her back, Her slick body She traces her arms with the Tips of her fingers So gently Tenderly Rhythmic pounding Touching her soft wrists Careful to mark the spot Grasping the deep blue razor Selected carefully from the Closet just moments before, She etches the blade Into her skin Rhythmic pounding Rhythmic pounding She grits her teeth, The hot water swishing Down her back The blade refusing to part her skin Harder and harder She presses She feels a slight pinch in her skin, Her fingers turning numb A small speck of blood beads together Crimson and bright Against her pale flesh A smile curves onto her lips, Tugging at each corners Finally, results Results Results She presses her finger Onto her tiny wound Wiping the blood away The blood stretches out across Her wrist once more So beautifully expected Rhythmic pounding She resumes her shower With a new found glee, Her problems trickled Away.
