Ex Boyfriend
Standing in the shower
She lets the scolding hot water
Run over her beaten bloody body
And slit wrists
"This is the last time" she says
"I will never let him hurt me again"
She watches the blood and water mix
As it goes down the drain
She hears him knocking
On the bathroom door
He yells at her
Telling her she better
Get out of the bathroom
The warm tears
Sting her face
She's getting weaker
Her eyes getting heavier
He is still knocking at the door
Still yelling and threatening her
She gets dizzy and sits down
The water still
Burning her skin
She wonders why she ever
Started dating him again
She's dealt with the abuse before
She thought he'd change
She lays her head back
On the edge of the tub
And draws in her final breath
In the moment her bursts
Through the door
He holds her limp body
Crying over his stupidity
She just lays there
Lifeless and limp
Her lips turning blue
The slits on her wrists
Wide and still bleeding
He finally realizes how
Much he hurt her
He grabs a hunting knife
Takes a deep breath and
Slits both wrists
Just like she did
In the last few moments
Of his life he whispers to her
"Du bist meine bloss liebling"
And silently dies
Holding his true loves
Cold bloody hand
