Tears squeeze through my eyes



I push against you



Trying to dislodge your knife



From me



You push- back harder



And warm blood spills over



The inside of my intestines



Why would you do this to me?



Please stop pushing



You're pushing harder!



I'm choking



I'm sorry



I didn't mean to lie



If that's the problem



Stop screaming!



I can't hear you



I can barely see your pretty face



From behind my eyelids



Am I crying blood or tears?



My clothes are soaked and



Black with blood



I feel you trembling



You tear the knife from



My insides



I would have screamed



Five minutes ago, with all of



My organs still intact



My mind is rushing



Quickly emptying itself of me



Almost as quickly as the blood
